help to help vinnie

[doublev2]

We have been hearing serious health and poverty issues recently for vinnie. Seen as we are a fan board I was wondering if anyone had ideas to help him?
He is sitting on a treasure chest of guitars and kiss tapes to help him financially but he chooses again and again to not sell due to crazy prices. I suggest people email him realistic prices on guitars and hope he sees light and accepts.
He also may well need family help which I believe his sister denise maybe somewhat helping according to the grapevine but he really should just check in to somewhere.
I believe he is depressed to a dangerous level.

Lots of us are now very concerned and any ideas of how to help him please post here.

I have obviously had run ins with him but we are fans and I think a duty to try to help if we can.

Maybe even send him some money via PayPal. Even small amounts may help

I think he believed he would sue and win against kiss and no plan b if he didn't win. Ofcourse he is still plotting to sue kiss but this as we all know is the road to ruin.

Exactly Dino, A few of us have explored different avenues in attempting to offer help.

Vinnie most likely will not like the gesture even if he needs it.

I am proud that we have at least tried.

Even sending ten bucks to his paypal to know we are not all after him. I would like to think he can sell a few guitars to keep him going but I think he is always going to ask too much. Would be cool if he put a Washburn or carvin up on auction starting at a dollar and see how high it goes.

A bunch of "Us" have tried in the past and I recently sent him 2 emails and got no response....for whatever the reason are, Vinnie still gives "Us" the cold shoulder for extending our hearts to him, while all we want to do, is help him get back on his feet and hear the amazing music once again....

It's very sad. He should have said yes to eddie trunk. If he asked for help so many would help.

While I have the deepest empathy for anyone going through health and financial problems I can not in good conscious provide to someone who has the means to provide for themselves but just will not.

That is just it, we aren't sure if he can.
