Disabled Veteran needs help so I can keep helping.

Short Video Covering the basics. More Details Below:

Introduction:

Hello, my name is Christopher Jones, and I am a disabled veteran of the U.S. Navy, where I served as an Aviation Electronics Technician (AT). Today, I am reaching out to share my story and seek your support as I navigate significant health challenges, including migraines, tinnitus, and PTSD, while working to maintain my role as a productive member of society.

My Health Struggles:

Since my discharge from the military, I have battled several debilitating conditions, including chronic migraines, tinnitus, PTSD, and severe

social anxiety. Despite these challenges, I have worked hard in civilian life. Unfortunately, my determination to keep pushing forward only exacerbated my health issues, leading to frequent bouts of vertigo.

Eventually, the Social Security Administration determined that I was fully disabled.

As a result, I now struggle to leave my home for long periods due to vertigo and migraines, which often cause me to fall. While I deal with minor wounds from falling indoors, my outdoor falls can be much more serious, sometimes requiring medical attention.

My Commitment to Helping Others:

For the past 20 years, I have dedicated myself to providing free computer technical support to those who cannot afford it. Initially, clients would bring their computers to me. As technology progressed, I adapted my services to remote support via Discord, which allows me to assist a broader audience. My Discord username is Solamain, and I offer my help without any charges or fees just a way to give back to my community.

Recent Events:

In September, my life took a sudden and devastating turn when I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. This incident occurred as I panicked upon hearing gunshots outside while trying to check on one of my children who was sitting on the patio. The stroke caused me to fall backward onto my chair, resulting in severe damage to both my chair and my back. While I am healing, I have had to resort to using an upturned milk crate as a chair, which is not suitable given my condition.

To complicate matters further, just five days later, I experienced

another fall and broke my 21-year-old child’s work laptop, along with damaging a few other items. We have since rearranged our home to minimize hazards and ensure safer navigation.

What I Need:

I am seeking financial support to replace my broken chair and my child's laptop. Additionally, any surplus funds will go towards purchasing HEPA air purifiers for our home to help support my immune system and improve our living environment. If the funds raised are only enough to replace the laptop, I am willing to do without a chair.

How You Can Help:

Conclusion:

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support can help me navigate these difficult times and improve the quality of life for my family and me. Together, we can work towards a brighter future.

With gratitude,

Christopher Jones
