Chris Young Medical Fund

Christopher is kind, loving, intelligent, joyful, and an army veteran. He served in the army as a gunner, fought in combat, and completed two tours in Iraq before ending his military career as a corporal. He worked through the struggles of PTSD and continued to be a hero in his community. He is employed at a VA hospital, and a trustee at our local VFW, where he volunteers to help other veterans. He is an inspiration to many and a friend to all.
Now Chris is fighting yet another battle. On a Friday night in August, on his way home from visting family, Christopher was in a motorcycle accident. It took us 17hours to locate him as a John Doe in the hospital ICU. His injuries were so extensive that he would have been completely unidentifiable, had it not been for a scar on his toe.
Chris has severe burns on over 50% of his body, including his entire face and neck, which will need reconstructive surgery. His right arm was amputated. His right eye has been damaged. It will be months before he is able to come home and he will have an uphill battle for the rest of his life.
We are asking for donations to help with Chris' medical expenses, including but not limited to, prosthetics, reconstructive surgeries, and cost of living during recovery. Every bit will help him in his journey. Thank you all so much.

"I clearly remember the day that I met Chris Young. It was early 2008, I was in the sergeant’s office checking in to my new unit when in walks a young private fresh out of basic training. We quickly became the best of friends. Little did I know that a few months later we would both be overseas serving a tour of duty. While in Iraq, Chris and I were both tasked with being the scout element in a convoy patrol unit. I knew I could always count on Chris to have my back while overseas, and now it is time for us to do the same for someone who has served his country and his people with honor. "

This campaign was organized by me, Aislynn Adams-Taylor. I'm Chris' long term significant other. We live together in Fair Oaks, CA.  The funds raised from this campaign and others will allow Chris to have the best possible technology and care moving forward in his healing process, and will allow him to live in the home he is comfortable with, when hes ready to, while he is healing. I am holding these funds until Christopher is conscious and well enough to access them. His family has been helpful and in support of this campaign
