Help Injured Veteran fund house adapt & Eqpmt
Donation protected
Hey folks my name is Jason I have two children aged 9 and 11 and have a wonderful girlfriend all who are my world. I was injured while during service for the British Army, Royal Signals back in 2012. I was subsequently medically discharged. After such time the army doesn’t give two hoots what happens to you after that. And they swept me under the carpet as soon as they could leaving me with terrible injuries and no support or network to get back to some normality of life .
I sustained life changing injuries suffering spine fracture and collapse along with severe nerve damage that renders me in crippling pain and unable to walk un-aided. Without extremely powerful pain medication I am rendered immobile, most of the time I have to rely greatly on my family to do even the most basic things for me, I have been on the road to recovery for such a long time now and my kids and loved ones are paying the price of my inability to do things a dad and person should be able to do.
Though I have had help from The Royal British Legion and Help 4 Heroes they tried to help me in terms of pain management and recovery. And after so long the support tends to dwindle. I have little to no spare income as my compensation from the army what little of it I got, was spent on rehabilitation services but that soon ran out after a year.
I am at a cross roads in terms of starting my new life and adapting myself and my day to day living and I am looking to fund adaptations to my house in terms of ramps, stair lift and ultimate goal is to build a disabled friendly living space by building an annex attached to my house so I won’t need to worry about wheelchair access to parts of the house I need etc Therefore making it simple to do more things and get around instead of being stuck on one floor for days at a time. The fund will also be for equipment like a lightweight wheel chair and mobility aids as the wheel chair I have is great but very heavy and cumbersome, so having one that can easily fold up and be lifted with ease would be amazing.
Lastly I would also like to seek Private Medical expertise in potentially repairing the damaged parts of my spine but as with everything it’s costs and no spare income.
The total goal is a massive amount and really this is a financial marker for the rest of my working age. I don’t expect to hit the whole amount all I ask is for any donation big or small or that you kindly share my page !
I thank you again for taking the time to read my story and extend the biggest of thanks to those who choose to donate.
Regards
Jason
