Paul Zink needs our help

Donation protected
Hi,

My name is Kevin O'Sullivan - I was a neighbor/friend of Paul's for several years back in his Charlestown days. I am creating this Go Fund Me on Paul's behalf - I spoke with Paul yesterday for the first time in many years (we have not spent much time together since he moved to Gloucester). I learned that the last few years have been challenging for him - as we all know, Paul has been a smoker his whole adult life - as often happens, smoking has caught up with him - he now suffers from chronic COPD.

To be honest, we also know Paul has been an A-1-Pain-in-The-Ass his whole adult life - this doesn't make him a bad person, just human. This week he's managed to get himself tossed out of his subsidized apartment in Gloucester, causing him to lose many of his possessions and leaving him in a very precarious position - he's homeless.

The immediate need is to find him a place to stay short-term while he sorts out a long-term solution - he's in a motel for a few days - but that will burn through his available resources quickly -

Currently, Paul needs constant oxygen assistance, which means O2 bottles and gear that help him breath. Paul's world consists of a few possessions, his old MG, and his COPD gear.

This is a very difficult situation, and he really needs your help.

I know this is a big ask - but there are times in life when we need to help each other, while being thankful for what we have. I think it's safe to say this is one of those times. Listen - If you know Paul, you understand who he is, and yet somehow you still like him, right? That's gotta count for something...

Please, please help if you can - contribute what you can, and if you know of a place where he could find a home in the days and weeks ahead, please get in touch. This need is urgent, and immediate.

Thank You.
