Hello, my name is Ashley and I have been a close friend of Paul Shovel for many years. Paul has recently been diagnosed with leukemia, and is fighting a painful battle with this disease. With his platelet level going from 500 down to 40, he is undergoing treatment and is unable to work. I am hoping to raise $8000 to keep Paul in a stable apartment where he can focus on his treatments and getting better. I do not want to see him go to a nursing home. Please come out and help our friend Paul through this troubling time.
