~Reggae stars often rise from the ghettos of Jamaica, Some, such as Albert
"Apple Gabriel" Craig earn success and international fame. Few endure the
struggle from success back into poverty, through health problems.

As an original member of the globally renowned harmony trio Israel Vibration,
Apple has recently fallen on hard times, recently becoming homeless. He also
now suffers from seizures due to living in a mold infested apartment for 4
years.

According to the Reggae Festival E-Guide, "Apple was the original creator of
their 'anthemic' songs and the original creator of the 'bionic' roots harmonies
that is the signature sound of the Group, and he also wrote a seemingly
infinite number of great songs, such as Lift Up Your Conscience, We A De Rasta,
Why You So Craven, Oh Jan Solid Rock, Middle East, There is No End, Falling
Angels, Mud Up and Rude Boy Shuffling, Friday Evening, Walk The Streets of
Glory and much, much more."

Apple now needs your help and support. To that end, they are
accepting donations to assist this Rasta Brother to get back on his feet.
"There is so much more that Apple has in store for us musically. Let's show him
how much we appreciate his contribution to us by giving back to him."

You can help him get back on his feet:

A lady in New Mexico has donated her RV to Apple so now he will have a bed to
sleep on, an area to cook food and better shelter than his car where he is
living now. The Problem at hand is trying to get the gasoline to get it from
Albaquerque to Atlanta. If you can donate gas cards, food cards to help get the
RV on the way to Apple, the sooner the better
