Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out on behalf of Paul Potter, who is currently in the hospital facing a serious health challenge. While we are incredibly grateful for the medical care he’s receiving, we know that the road ahead doesn’t end when he’s discharged.

Once released, Paul will need safe housing, ongoing care, and basic living support while he recovers. Unfortunately, the financial strain of medical-related expenses and housing during recovery is overwhelming, and the last thing he should be worrying about right now is money.

Our goal is simple: to give Paul the opportunity to focus fully on healing, physically and emotionally, without the constant stress of how expenses will be managed after leaving the hospital.

Funds raised will go toward:

Temporary or recovery housing

Post-hospital care and support

Basic living expenses during recovery

Medical-related costs not covered by insurance

Paul has always been someone who shows up for others, and asking for help doesn’t come easily. Right now, support from the community could make all the difference in his recovery and quality of life during this critical time.

If you’re able to donate, share, or send words of encouragement, it truly means more than words can express. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps lift a weight and brings Paul one step closer to healing.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this difficult time.  

This fundraiser is being coordinated in close partnership with Paul’s daughter, Stacy Carlson, who is deeply involved in every aspect of his care, recovery planning, and day-to-day support. I’m his niece, Shannon Potter, helping to support this effort
