Disabled Veteran In need of Aid!
Donation protected
All,
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this! My name is Brian Stratton. I'm a disabled military veteran that has been medically retired from the military since 2012. I served my country for 13 years+ on 4 continents and over 40 countries. However, I have pretty much been a hobit since then, and strugle with basic things such as being able to get out of the house, get on some sort of schedule, find the right time to sleep and have great difficulties interacting with people. These are just a few reasons why I'm raising money for myself.
The reason I'm raising money is because I'd like to get out and Golf again. In Feb of 2013 while attended a University to become a Golf Pro, my home was broken into and $10,000 worth of Golf equipment was stolen from me, as well as prescription medications. Due to disabilites that I was/am suffering from I was unable to preform the tasks neccessary to utilize my renters insurance at that time.
In October of 2016 I had a very scary moment. I was paralyzed for the second time of my life. The cause the 2nd time was actually thought to be Psychological opposed to Physical/Neurological like the 1st time. Since I got out of the hospital (had a 5 day stay). I've tried to be more active (doing yoga/arobics around the house) and lose weight, however my passion has always been Golf.
The money that you donate will go directly to providing me with a good set of fitted Golf Clubs and equipment needed to play the Sport which I love so much (I was also a volunteer Golf Coach/Instructor for the Junior PGA of America).
I believe that with your help, it will greatly help my on-going struggle with battling PTSD (and other things). I will be very thankful for anything that you send, I will even mark my Golf Balls with your name on it, and hopefully get a birdie with that ball! I also believe that with your support I will be able to help others more (I attend to give people free lesons because I'm a nice guy).
