Tropicana Joe needs our help!

As many of you know, Paolo has been struggling with his health. I can say with 100% confidence that he has stopped drinking in order to make a positive change in his life. While that is a monumental feat, his body is fragile. Paolo has been DJing professionally for the last several months. His musical taste is exquisite and he is sought after. He is thankful to be able to make an income in this manner since he cannot work a regular job. He wears out easily. With recent hospitalizations, that means he can't make money during this time. DJ gigs fluctuate as well. That means he is behind on hospital bills but he has been making small payments.

This weekend, I found Paolo collapsed on the back patio. For the sake of giving him some privacy while he heals, I won't go into details, however he is in ICU and has a long road ahead of him. I expect his hospital stay to be long.

If Paolo (lovingly Tropicana Joe) has ever made you smile with one of his weird stories, made you dance by sharing his music, picked you up when you were feeling down or helped you out with actions or words, I would very much appreciate a donation to his medical bills so he will stop worrying about it and rest.

The future is uncertain and he may not be able to DJ for the rest of the year and thus, I hope you understand the urgency and the truthfulness of my plea for donations on his behalf.

Let's keep the CoNGa LiNE going!

With love, Sandra.

With gratitude, Paolo.
