HTF Founder, Parker Clack, Can Use Some Help... (1 Viewer)

[Ronald Epstein]

Many of the old-timers here on Home Theater Forum certainly remember Parker.

He is one of the founders of this site and was my partner for most of the last two decades.

Parker has had some recent setbacks with his health which has been causing him financial instability.

He created a GOFUNDME page to raise funding to hold him over until he can begin collecting disability.

He asked that I reach out to the Home Theater Forum community in hopes of being able to raise some much-needed money.

If you are interested, you can visit his page here.


Thank you all in advance!​

I’m sorry to hear of Parker’s health setbacks; thank you for posting this.

Wishing Packy all the best!

One recommendation. I'm not sure where you live, but if you go to a farm supply store, you can buy wraps for horses for under $5.00 each, rather than pay the medical equipment price.

Sent in a little something, I've been here for nearly 20 years and remember him well.

Get better Parker.

This needs to get better exposure. Any chance it gets put on the front page? I just happened to read it by chance.

Oh boy.

I’ve been wondering where Parker has been.

It’s been of fear that something like this could happen to me or my wife, especially my wife since she brings in the money I just turned 55 and she is over 50 too.

Good luck @Parker Clack

Guys:

Thanks so much for the support. I am actually doing better but cannot work as I can't walk more than a few
feet without getting short of breath. Can't take care of someone else when you can't even take care of
yourself. I am waiting on disability to kick in but until that happens I am going to be without a paycheck.
I have a pension but have to wait on it too. Hence the need for funds. Any other suggestions for
getting the word out would really help. Feel free to tell others you know about the Go Fund Me
account and this thread on HTF.

John:

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look that up.

Thanks again all.

Parker

Anybody hear from Packy ?

 

[Mike Frezon]

I exchanged communications with him a couple weeks ago. He seems in good spirits...but is still facing money concerns.

Thanks for bumping this thread, Gregg!

Still hanging in there guys. My pension is still a few weeks way and still waiting on disability.

I really appreciate everyone's concern and financial assistance. It has meant a lot to myself
and my family.

[Parker Clack]

Still here. Nothing new to report except I finally got disability but I have to wait another month before
my pension shows up.

At least that’s some progress.

Baby steps....

(always helpful when dealing with insurance, health care, government, or.....)

I remember Parker well from years and years ago back when I was more active here and not lurking as much. I’m sorry to hear about his setbacks.
