Our good friend Frank Sherlock was rushed to the hospital January 22nd
with
a sudden and mysterious illness which turned out to be a serious case of
meningitis. He needed emergency surgery, and also suffered a heart
attack and
kidney failure as a result of symptoms related to the illness.

The timing could not be worse as this attack of meningitis happened
during
the two month window in which Frank is without health insurance.

His friends have come together to help raise money at this critical
time.
We are reaching out to other friends and the poetry community on
Frank's
behalf. Please consider sending donations for his hospital bills,
physical
therapy, as well as his very expensive medications and other needs.

If you can make a donation by check or money order at this time please
send
it to Frank's longtime friend Matthew McGoldrick.

VERY IMPORTANT: Please make check or money order out to Matthew
McGoldrick,
and send to his address:

1504 Morris St. Philadelphia PA 19145

We will be having a benefit show in Philadelphia in the very near
future.
If you would like to be notified of that event please e-mail
_CAConrad13@ aol.com_ (mailto:CAConrad13@aol. com) for the details.
