Hey, Folks: My friend and colleague Gene Steinberg, is in incredibly dire straits. He's a lifetime broadcaster, the host and the driving force behind the Paracast and his Mac-and-gadget show, the Tech Night Owl Live, and author of no less than _thirty_ nonfiction books about computing.
Gene's also an accomplished science fiction author as well, having co-written the first 2 books in the old-school science fiction "Rockoids"* trilogy, with his son, Grayson--now, he needs your help, So I'll let him take over from here and explain why:
Hi, neighbors:
On the evening of May 10, a summons was left on my front door that sets a date of May 16 for an eviction hearing in a local court. The landlord is demanding $2,347.53, including legal fees, to allow me to stay.
If that money isn’t paid by the hearing date, the court would approve the order. A deputy sheriff will show up a few days later and give me 15 minutes to pack up and leave.
This is the absolute worst thing that can happen. I have no Plan B. I have nowhere to go.
Meantime, a lawyer is helping me deal with all my other debts, but the eviction is the most immediate threat.
Life is not easy for a senior citizen with money problems.
I realize you may have already sent a donation, that you’ve done your share. But if you can help, please do so. As you see, time is short, and I need to get past this dry period to move on and rebuild my life.
Please send your donation via PayPal. You may send it to gene@technightowl.com or use a Donation button on any of my sites. If you have a problem sending me a donation, please let me know.
Here’s another way to send a donation: Please go to:https://www.paypal.com and enter the email address: gene@technightowl.com into the 'to' box. If you use the “friends or family” option in PayPal when you send me a donation, they WON’T deduct the nearly 3% fee from the amount I receive.
You can also use PayPal with any major credit or debit card. You don’t have to have PayPal or a PayPal account to use it, and it's 100% secure. Please check it out at www.paypal.com.
If you don’t want to use PayPal, let me know and I’ll work out a different way to receive a donation.
If you’re not able to help, please Like, Share and repost.
Thanks again for paying attention to my plight.
Peace,
Gene

Thanks again, guys, for anything you can help with--if you have $5 for a cup of coffee, consider buying one for Gene (except it will go toward his rent, bills and not getting evicted). I worked for Gene selling ads for his website and radio shows oh, around a decade ago, and my commissions were generous for all the new business I generated while I was the business development director for Gene.
Thank you, friends. I know you would do the same for for just about anyone in a serious plight as Gene is.
In case you are concerned that this might be a scam, Gene also has a fundraiser here: https://www.gofundme.com/genesteinberg, that is 100% secure--as is PayPal--Elon Musk's old company!
He prefers PayPal, however (all you need is a debit or credit card, no membership or fees required) as you can send him funds using "Friends and Family" and they won't take anything out for the transfer.
Thank you, my peeps and FBBFFs. You're all heart.

P.S.: I know this is a bit left of center for this group, especially right now, but
if Gene actually gets evicted--I don't know where he'd do the show from. Anyway, I kicked in $20 I can't afford, but it won't get me evicted, and Gene _will_ be if we don't mobilize as a group to help out with whatever we can.
