computer for a disabled father
Donation protected
Hello my name Is Rachael Walton I am trying to raise money for my husband Joseph Walton for a new computer. He is a amazing father, a husband, gamer, and disabled. Other than spending time with his family his favorite thing to do is play video games. He and our son play a few games on his phone and our old computer but from what he says it can't play anything newer than 5 to 10 years ago.
Joe has dealt with really bad chronic migraines since he was 14 year old, along with depression and bipolar. He has dealt with this for most of his life so he was used to it but then unfortunately 4 years ago he found out he had a condition called bilateral avascular necrosis of the fermonal head. Pretty much something cause his blood flow to the top of his leg bone to stop and the ball that goes in the hip died and deteriorated until it collapsed upon itself making it impossible to walk for more than a few feet.He went though 2 years of this horrible pain from this condition before his surgeon and medical insurance approved him for a total hip replacement surgery.
We thought thank god at least this his hips will get better and we can get back to a somewhat normal life as we knew it before. He got the surgery and was healing slowly at first but it was coming along. Then out of no where Joe said his knees were hurting, and after a few weeks of the pain not getting better we got it checked and the avascualar necrosis had spread to the joints in his knees. So now just when we we're on the cusp of getting back to our old life we have to go through the whole process over again. Not only that but due to the pain in his knees he can't do his physical therapy right for his hips so they aren't healing right either. Also hip and knee replacements in younger adults only last about 10 years so until better technology is developed He will have to get his knees and hips done alternating every 5 years.
Joe has always been there for Jaxon and I even through all the pain and problems he has had he still has been my rock. I would really like to give him something that could bring some joy to his life and one thing he has wanted for years is a good computer to play games on. He showed me the computer that he really would like to build not to long ago and that's where I got this idea. We are living check to check off of his disability because I have to stay home to help Joe take care of our son and himself and while we have a small amount of money saved it gets taken out by emergencies or one thing or another. I know It's going to take 2 years before we can get the first surgery and another 6 months to a year for the second not counting the physical therapy So it's going to be a while before we can afford a computer, that's why I've come to ask for your help.
The computer we have know is from Joe's childhood back in 2006 and is really slow. Just watching TV on it takes forever to load and when he does play video games they are really old ones because its not powerful enough to play new games. We rarely ever ask anyone for help so this feels weird but I really want to help him do something he loves and he deserves it for all he's been through. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read this and anyone who gives god bless you and I really appreciate everything even if its small.
Here is a link to the computer Joe wants, and he also said that if anyone would rather send parts instead of cash he would be grateful for anything even if its not the parts listed. He said he can put any computer together as long as it can game he will be happy.
