PLEASE HELP ME GET BACK ON MY FEET AGAIN ‼️
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
Yes I know it’s me, David Benson here again and I’m sorry to have to request my fellow friends, former friends, past friends, present friends, and perhaps even future friends to consider providing me some more temporary support.
As I reiterated once before, I only want those to give who feel compassionate towards my heath crisis and desire to give from your hearts ❤️ and not out of feeling any pressure or obligation in any way shape or form. Donating through “ Go Fund Me” is a humanitarian way to help our fellow friends and human beings freely in extreme times of need.
I must admit that it’s rather humiliating/ and somewhat embarrassing that I remain in a crisis situation and that I need to remain strong enough to reach out again for some temporary help while getting back on my feet again and so that I will be able to work full-time with my renovation business as I now have three or four clients waiting with signed contracts because I’ve had more phone calls recently because of the great weather. Thankfully, these customers are willing to wait and be patient due to my present situation.
As I’ve mentioned previously about a month ago, when my friend Paul Boyd posted my “Go Fund Me Page” on His facebook wall, I was overwhelmed by his loyalty to me as a friend both in adulthood and great times and fun as a childhood/teenager friend.
I think that most of you that read my story will relate to the fact that if you have always been self-sufficient or financially independent for your entire working lives and careers, and you personally ran into some roadblocks, painful adversities, and extreme sickness and health limitations that remained totally out of my control that it would also be difficult for anyone to ask especially for financial help and trust me it is……
and has been difficult because I have never had to do this ever before in my life and now that I’m 52 it isn’t any easier trust me….
I have been making progress in my brain X 90 concussion and ( ABI) Acquired Severe Brain Injury rehabilitation at London Parkwood Hospital. Unfortunately i have been diagnosed with phase 1 and phase 2 symptoms of (CTE) Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Disease which is not favourable based on the preliminary testing.
I have however completed 6 weeks of a total of 32 week program, but unfortunately my post concussion symptoms along with all my other health issues that occurred in the last year have at times been getting worse, including extreme headaches and migraines, major short term memory loss/ vestibular imbalance, impaired hearing and eyesight loss because of where the fractured occurred and also other similar common post concussion symptoms/ syndrome.
Attempting to Recover from 15 significant concussions since the age of age 8 and than having 3 more bad concussions and falls last year which included the recent fractured skull and orbital bone that required surgery at University Hospital and the emergency ‼️ doctors were astonished that I didn’t break my neck, or have internal brain bleed or become paralyzed and or die due to the significant impact and the location of the skull fracture.
my physiotherapist and healthcare team along with my doctors. Tell me that this is a normal and common spectrum of concussion recovery where the symptoms get better and worse without warning and are so unbearable at times it prevents me from functioning in a working capacity.
Now my kind folks, and fellow supporters of my charity cause I also want share the good news which has happened gradually in the last three weeks.
My doctors have allowed me to experiment and return to work at my clients home that I’m finishing his basement for on a very slow safe return to work for about 10 hours a week presently as long as I’m without symptoms so all to say, in spite of some of my challenges.
I’m also starting to make a little bit of money so that I can return to a state of self sufficiency and then I will no longer need to ask for any further help, which will be a huge sense of confidence and relief for me.
Please graciously consider donating even just small amounts like 10 or 20 dollars as it all eventually will enable me to reach this target and might be more doable and reasonable for others to give.
Again, everyone, I can’t thank all of you enough for the initial support about eight weeks ago and I also want to thank all of you for being patient kind, compassionate, all the while considering supporting me for this final smaller target amount so that I can return to work on a full-time basis while I recover and get full medical clearance
The very fact that I have been self-sufficient and independent since the age of 16 when I had to flee, my family home and I have remained 100% financially independent but I’ve also never experienced such hardship with respect to my health in such a short period of time that has seriously limited me from working for my customers that are still awaiting my return .
I’m humbly and graciously hoping that some of you will support my one final request to raise a small amount of donations of support and for anyone that knows me or anyone that doesn’t know me and cares enough to perhaps even donate $10 which is the smallest increment that “Go Fund Me” accepts.
Small amounts of financial support are equally as helpful and I’m equally thankful at the same time. I’ve had a few setbacks with respect to my fractured skull and orbital brain post concussion syndrome and my other limiting injuries, which has interfered With me returning to work on a full-time basis.
Thanks in advance to everyone that chooses to support me freely. I wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous future including myself …..
kindly, humbly and respectfully,
David Benson
