Chemical Casualties of Camp Lejeune Baby with Parkinson's

Donation protected
My name is Mark, and I was born at Camp Lejeune in October 1958. I now suffer from various ailments, including Parkinson's, a Camp Lejeune Track 1 disease recognized by the courts and the U.S. government. Unfortunately, government lawyers have only settled with a few individuals and show no intention of quickly advancing the remaining cases. They seem to be waiting for us to pass away without receiving proper treatment, reminiscent of the Agent Orange situation. So no way to pay for advanced and new procedures or medicine that might help. So here I am on GoFundme.

I am fighting back on multiple fronts and need your support to aid others with my site . Your donations will assist in two significant ways. Please read both, so you understand that your donation goes to help two people at a time.

1.
For every $500 donated, collectively from any number of contributors, I will pass it Forward and donate my time on ChemicalCasualties.com to conduct a comprehensive search of 40 years of Camp Lejeune newspaper archives for one individual’s information and help them. I can search over four decades, hundreds of thousands of names published, often detailing their locations and activities, including those of both service members and civilians. Individuals only need to prove they were present for more than 30 days, but my research can provide additional evidence beyond their service records, significantly strengthening their case. In my research for my birth in 1958, I found a link to chemical contamination that no one had noticed, and it was a big event that will help me in court if I can ever get there.

I will process each request in the order received through GoFundMe, other fundraising platforms, or by email. You can even submit a request on behalf of a friend. This service is particularly valuable for anyone and estates seeking compensation but unsure of their loved one’s activities at Camp Lejeune.

2.
I conduct the research and send any findings directly to the requester. The same $500 donation I did the work for now supports my medical needs, bills, and expenses. I will focus on Parkinson's treatment and aim to participate in trials or new medicines, sharing my findings with all who inquire. There is even a vaccine in the works for Parkinson's that could be a cure. Sign me up !! I want to live and not have Camp Lejeune be my end.

I will regularly update this platform with the number of individuals I assist in researching without disclosing any names.

If you have newspaper clippings from the Camp Lejeune Newspaper, take a picture on a cell phone photo of both the front and back of an old clipping allows me to leverage my advanced data skills to reverse-search and retrieve the complete article and even the full issue, if desired. This can be invaluable for legal compensation by pinpointing the date and context.

If you have any questions or ideas, please ask.
