+#Paulinko
 I've been a member of the Audiobus forum since the beginning. Contributing wiki entries about what I've learned here and in my musical exploration allows me to share that knowledge.
+At one point the Audiobus website had a problem logging users in with Google so I had to create a new account **@InfoCheck**. About 1/5 of my posts were under Paulinko and the rest were InfoCheck. I’m only using Paulinko for the wiki because I can’t login to the wiki with my InfoCheck account. My other musical online based identity is the PLU Collective named in honor of a friend who passed away from cancer a couple of years ago.

+* Please help my friend to tell his story.
+* He has spent his life supporting people in the mental health system so they can work towards having a more fulfilling life.
+* He has saved my life several times.
+* He's been on the front lines fighting with those who have PTSD including the survivors of Katrina during his first year as an LCSW.
+* He has kidney and liver failure due to blood clots in his kidneys.
+* Facing the prospect of having his life unexpectedly cut short due to the genetic hand he was dealt is overwhelming.
+* He’s a cancer survivor, is currently on dialysis, and his future is precarious.
+* We have been best friends since we met almost 25 years ago.
+* His spouse is especially distraught.
+* Any encouragement and support you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
+* Here’s how you can contribute financially to help: [DJ’s Go Fund Me](https://www.gofundme.com/trying-to-get-home-for-medical-treatments).
