Hello bottle community and other friends.

I'm writing this GoFundMe today to try and help a friend in need. A friend, fellow collector, and standup guy that would give the shirt off his back if others needed it. My friend Joel is in need of assistance to cover some bills and to just get by in a very tough time. Joel is going through a very tough and costly divorce and trying to get a stable environment in the meantime to be able to have joint custody of his kids, ages 3 & 7.

He's currently able to rent a 1-bedroom apartment month to month but will only have that ability until April 30th. He's also accrued a bunch of medical bills in the last few months which are just adding to the list. He's trying to work and still run auctions but is rapidly falling further and further behind and isn't making enough to stay afloat. If you know Joel, you know he's a good guy and a proud man who would never ask for a handout, but I knew he needed a hand. If you're in the bottle community, then Joel has probably touched your life in one way or another. Let's see what we can do to help.
