Hi folks, my name is Mike Potter and I'm here to ask you all for some help.  I have a friend Karl Wingruber who could use some help right now.  Karl has been ill for the last few months fighting a variety of respritory infections and the bills are mounting up.  Most of us won't ever have to deal with the problems of a chronic illness but for those who do the costs can become a major source of stress and concern.  The money Karl receives will be used to help pay his medical bills and help cover some of the costs he'll need to pay to get through this difficult time.  Karl's a fantastic guy, I've never met him in person but through Facebook he's become a inspiration, musical confidant and someone I can chat with on a moments notice and come away feeling good, like he was right there, someone who listens, always has a cheerful remark and keeps things positive.  I know if Karl saw this about someone else in his situation he'd help and that's all I'm asking for right now from my friends and Karl's friends, just a little help.  I know it will mean the world to Karl and you know what, in a time where lots of people feel helpless to do anything for anyone... well here's an opportunity to help a fantastic person who could use some support.  Please join me in being that support for Karl.  Thank you!
