Art Birdsall LOVElandtown's Decoy King

Artie Birdsall is in need of serious medical help. He needs a heart transplant and although he has Medicare his bills are piling up. Artie comes from a long line of Head of the Bay (Barnegat Bay) decoy carvers and has dedicated his life to keeping his family tradition alive. 
He has lived his entire life in the Lovelandtown neighborhood of Point Pleasant and I am calling upon our neighbors and friends to donate a few bucks so Artie can catch up on paying his bills.  
He needs to put this behind him so he can concentrate on his medical issues.  Artie has always helped anyone in need and now he needs our help.
I will be very happy if you can help Artie overcome this obstacle of life.
I have only lived in Lovelandtown for 45 years and have known Artie since first coming here.  My wife was born here over 70 years ago and has known the Birdsall Family since that time.  They gave much to this community and now it is time that this community gives something back to them through Artie Birdsall.
My name is Sal Marino and I live in the same Lovelandtown neighborhood of Point Pleasant that Artie lives in. I have known him for over 45 years.
The funds that we raise will go directly to any medical bills that are not covered by Artie's insurance.  Some funds will go directly to any bills that are due such as electricity, heating and such.  Presently I will send the monies through a separate checking account directly to the receiving party.
