I'm asking for help after an altercation with a racist in the Denver airport where I defended myself. Since then, I've been dealing with a possible hand injury and I think I may have fractured my knuckles. On top of that, I may need a lawyer because of what happened.

My wife is typing this for me because my anxiety is going off the charts right now. This situation has left me trying to deal with both the physical pain and the stress of what comes next.

I'm a disabled veteran living on a fixed income, so these unexpected costs are more than I can handle on my own. Donations will help pay for medical expenses and legal fees related to this incident.

If you're able to give, any support would mean a lot to me right now. Even sharing this fundraiser would help as I try to get through this and cover the costs ahead.
