Help Save Ken and Randy’s Home,<br />
I wanted to bring your attention to an important<br />
fundraiser called “Help Save Ken and Randy’s<br />
Home”. This fundraiser has been organized<br />
for Randy Schecher-Bowers, who recently lost<br />
his husband Ken Schecher-Bowers in a tragic<br />
accident. Randy has been a valued member<br />
of the LGBTQ+ community for a long time,<br />
and has contributed significantly to various<br />
community and<br />
veteran affairs.<br />
Randy has been an active Amvet officer and has played a crucial<br />
role in organizations such as Palm Springs Gay Veterans and Desert<br />
Stonewall Democratic Club. He has been instrumental in increasing<br />
the positive visibility and inclusion of gay veterans in Veteran’s Day<br />
Parades and ceremonies held on Memorial Day. Additionally, he has<br />
contributed to the VFP Peace Pole program.<br />
Considering his valuable contributions to the community, it’s important<br />
that we come forward and help Randy in his time of need. You can contribute to the fundraiser by<br />
visiting the following direct link: https://gofund.me/7ddd239a. Every little bit counts, and your<br />
