Let's Help Rawlins Pay His Taxes

Donation protected
Rawlins Gilliland could use our help. As many of you know, Rawlins had a four- years-long dispute with the IRS over the deduction of uninsured losses on his home, which unfortunately did not go his way.  The IRS is now requiring him to pay back over $40,000, on a monthly payment plan that he cannot afford. They also have a tax lien on his treasured home of over 36 years.  

Rawlins has helped so many groups and individuals in our community, including his friend Charles, a homeless man who lives in the woods.  With years of patient attention, Rawlins has helped Charles improve his living situation tremendously. 

In all honesty, while it's easy for Rawlins to help others, it's very difficult for him to ask for or accept help, but a group of us have convinced him to let us try.  

Our dream is to raise enough money from gifts to retire the IRS debt in its entirety.  We realize that's an ambitious dream, but if everyone whose life has been touched by Rawlins gave just a little, we'd get there.  

But even if we can't raise it all, wouldn't it be nice to be able to help Rawlins make a significant dent in it and either lessen the amount of the monthly payments or reduce the length of time he has to do this?  

Please give what you can, as soon as you can.

Thank you. 

-Team Rawlins
