Help Michael get back on his feet
My name is Ed and I am fundraising for my old friend Michael Poirson whose tshirt business was abruptly ended by the Covid lockdown; all the shows and expos where he was a vendor stopped and his income stopped with it. Ironically, Mike is one the most self sufficient people I have known, always able to support himself. For years he had a boat and jetski rental business at Lake Tahoe. When his lease was not renewed he sold his jetskis and began silkscreening tshirts and vending them at trade shows and on Telegraph Ave in Berkeley. He was able to buy a houseboat where he still resides. He has fallen behind on his slip rent and other bills and was unable to keep his secondary health insurance. His condition is complicated by a serious fall, which resulted in a badly fractured wrist. He was unable to get needed surgery because his insurance was lapsed. Michael spent countless months and years travelling all over the country sharing literature, posters and videos about Avatar Meher Baba all on his own dime. Mike is one of the more selfless people I have known and is unfailingly kind to everyone. Please help if you are able.
