Greetings,

My name is Ricky Smith, I'm representing a fellowship of friends that are pulling together to help one of our "Brothers" Earl Wright.

Earl Wright is an amazing human being whom I've had the pleasure of becoming good friends with over the past year.  He is a well respected marine and a proud, vietnam veteran.  Earl's love and passion for life is very contagious.  It is near impossible not to have a smile on your face when you are around him.  Currently, Earl is battling cancer with the help of Hospice and a great community of friends.   His situation has forced him to abruptly end his career as a house manager in a Sober Living home.  Our goal here is to help Earl with his living situation by covering his day to day expenses (rent, food,etc).  We want Earl to live comfortably for the remaining time he has with us.  In addition to his living expenses the money will be used to cover the cost/fees associated with cremation.  All additional money  will be donated to a charity of Earl's choice.  

The need for these funds are immediate as the first due date is this Friday 9/16.  The total cost of rent is $421/week.  The rent will be due every following Friday.  

I'm sure quite a few of you reading this know Earl and don't need an explanation of Earl's generosity.  For those of you who don't...please realize Earl would give you the shirt off his back.  He would look you dead in the eye and tell you he loves you (even if he didn't know you) and truly mean it.  Earl has so much to offer to benefit our planet Earth.  If we had a whole world of Earl's there would be an endless supply of insane, funny, sad, and loving tales.  


Your generosity will be beyond appreciated by Earl.  The gratitude he has already shown, up to this point, is amazing.  Your donations will be accepted with a very large heart and an even bigger soul.  
Thank you,  Bless.
