My name is Larry Bell, and although help (particularly financial) is a difficult thing to ask for, at the suggestion of a friend (who knows all of the details of my situation), I have created a “GO FUND ME” campaign.  I am humbly asking for your loving financial assistance for myself and my family at this difficult time in our lives.  In April 2012 I (unjustly) lost my job.  At that time I’d been a pharmacist for 25 years, faithfully serving my community and supporting my family.  I’ve been unemployed since 2012 due to a lack of available positions and a SNAFU with my former employer and the Board of Pharmacy (the latter of which has finally been made right). Also, during this time period, I lost my mother, brother and most recently, my brother-in-law.  I was also intimately involved (both personally and financially) in helping both my son and stepson deal with issues (both physical and psychiatric) to help save their lives.  Thank God they are both doing much better now. I went back to school to earn my Masters degree in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica and ultimately took a leave of absence due to financial concerns and the URGENT need to keep these kids alive. These have been difficult times on many levels.  I have used my entire life savings (early withdrawl of 401K) supporting myself and loved ones for the last 3+ years.. I  looked at this time off as a Godsend in that I was available to help everyone with their life issues yet I never thought for a minute that ultimately, I'd be the one in need of help. Yet, at this moment, I am literally FLAT BROKE. I've been fortunate enough to raise the $2500 for February 's rent which I will be paying a week late. 

So again, I humbly request your financial assistance until I secure a new position as a pharmacist. I may have to move out of state, I’ll go wherever the jobs are (even if that means leaving my wife and kids at home in Ventura, CA so they may have continuity in their work lives and college education).  This request is ONLY to help me bridge the gap between where I am today (financially) and where I will be in the very near future through the GRACE OF GOD and the support of my friends and loved ones.

Please know that your contributions will help save a family from becoming destitute. I will use your contributions to pay the bills and keep a roof over our heads, pay past due bills, fix our cars and so on. They will also help with moving expenses should I need to relocate for work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this, it means a lot to me and my family.  I’ll be holding this request in the LIGHT. This or something better for the highest good of all concerned!

Namaste,

 Larry Bell and my extraordinary wife, Stephanie Main-Bell
