Help save Barrys home!

Most people know of my grandfather Barry Samuels from when he owned and started The Golden Notebook in Woodstock NY. Barry has lived in town and contributed to many fundraisers and events for over 50 years, as well as has helped many people in times of need. Now its time to help him and return the favor.

In late 2020 Barry lost his wife Sandy suddenly to a heart attack, since then Barry has had a hard time managing bills as well as in early 2021 he was unable to pay his property tax because of her sudden death as well as other family matters that stopped him from having the funds to do so. Barry is now behind in his property taxes and if he isn't able to pay them by the beginning of may his home will go up for auction online. This is Barry's only form of shelter and housing. I myself do not have room for him in my home because l live with my boyfriend’s family and my 4 month old son. My mother lives in a studio apartment and she and Barry aren’t on the best of terms.

Barry will be 81 this year and can not afford to lose his home as well as many of his possessions. I do not want to see my grandfather homeless. Anything will help. Thank you.
