I play for seniors and people in assisted living and rehab places. I cheer up their life and I bring them some light. I provide a meaningful service for people who are often forgotten. Some tell me they are about to die, and many share their personal stories. They get a lot from it, and it means a great deal to me to do.

The administrators prefer to book me because I engage. I will usually play a lot longer than most too.

I have to travel, I have an hour set up, I stay and talk afterwards. Sometimes I'll play for free 'cause the places can’t afford it. And the people get such pleasure out of it. I invite you to look at my website www.paultosh.com and see what I'm doing and see the reactions.

This is my calling, this is viable. With all the AI-generated stuff these days, I am swimming upstream with only live performances, but it is what contributes to wellbeing, not the opposite, isolation. This isn't background music; it's an experience that matters to people in a group format.

There's a lot of people who need a lot of service just now. My job is simple. I am of service to senior people with this. Thank G-d it's the most incredible thing.

My GoFundMe is to subsidize the wage; to keep me being able to do it for free, to keep me being able to do it for low wages, to keep me available across the country.

It's no more complicated than that.

This is my GoFundMe pitch, please pitch.

Thank you,

Paul

Hello

I'm Michael, Gabbi at Kahal Mekor Chaim, 

Valencia Dr in Monsey 

Writing on behalf of Pauls work

​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Paul's work is rare and much needed. See the impact in the live testimonial video above.

​

The bulk of his clients are 55+ senior living facilities, where budgets are limited. Program directors who book entertainment work within tight constraints set by facility owners, resulting in compensation that doesn't reflect the quality Paul provides. There are no people out there doing what he is doing - he gets the "maximum" pay, and response wherever he goes with loyal supporters up and down the East Coast, but the pay remains low for such high-quality work.

​

I believe in the spread of Paul's work for its own sake. For the last three years I have offered support - he works incredibly hard. He is constant cycling through friends' houses, AirBnBs, hotels, or sleeping in the car.

His costs far outweigh the income generated, although demand is plain to see. 

Paul has taken music as therapy to a new level - every performance contributes to calmness, peace, and participant wellbeing. He has proved himself with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, and developed quality equipment and systems to provide efficiency at a high standard. The results are palpable. Paul performs, and is doing all booking preparations, invoicing, production, gear maintenance - all the behind-the-scenes responsibilities.

With this financial support, he can transition away from a farm night job he also maintains and focus new opportunities in what should be full-time work.

​

Please join me in supporting the continued propagation of his work. This is an opportunity to share in something meaningful.

​Regards

Michael
