After heartfelt deliberations with Paul, the intended recipient of this effort, we have decided to cancel this GoFundMe. It hasn't gained sufficient steam to where the monies would come close to meeting the needs as defined in the campaign.

Unfortunately, this is clearly a sign of the unsettling times we're all experiencing. I have no doubt that - given a virus free world and solid economic forecast - that collectively we would have easily taken care of Paul with the generosity that so many of you have shown.

Thanks to all who have donated to-date. I have cancelled this program as of this morning. Your donations will be refunded within 3 to 7 business days, per GoFundMe policies. I have already received confirmation emails that each person who has donated has been refunded (within 3-7 days).

Thanks again. Here's hoping you're all safe and well. Keep a nice socially distanced zone about you and if people get too close, then just spool up the turbo and leave them behind!
