Our uncle Paul Wheatbread has always been a source of inspiration and joy in our family. In the late 60s, he played in a chart-topping band, sharing his music and passion with the world. Despite his success, the reality for many musicians of that era was tough—most didn’t earn much, didn’t own their own music, and lacked access to things like health care or pensions. Now, as he faces the challenges of kidney failure and Alzheimer’s, our family is doing everything we can to support him.

Recently, he moved into a care facility to get the help he needs, and he is now transitioning to hospice care. The costs for medical bills, hospice, and the facility are adding up quickly, and we’re also preparing for after-life care and funeral expenses. It’s a lot for our family to manage on our own, and we want to make sure he is comfortable and cared for every step of the way.

We’re reaching out to friends, family, and the community for support during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for our uncle and help us honor the legacy of a man who gave so much through his music. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
