Help Disabled Veteran Replace Stolen Trailer

Story

My name is Christopher Hedgecock. I am a disabled veteran and a single Dad who had my trailer stolen off the back of my Jeep in the Home Depot Parking Lot on 1/30/2022. This was in the middle of the day with cars and cameras everywhere. I had this trailer for 16 years. It was ordered through the mail to Ft. Bliss, Texas in order to help me get my motorcycle home back to Oregon. I made the Army Mail Room so mad when the trailer came in about 30 separate boxes all very heavy and addressed to "SPC Hedgecock" haha! It has taken me through the desert and over the mountains with wild adventures. I have used it to move myself and others many times to new homes. It had a lot of life left in it after I spent 6 hard days bent over grinding rust off metal, scraping paint, and eventually painting the old girl to look good as new! My heart literally broke when I came out side and saw some one had stolen a piece of my life history. I hope I'll see it again one day, but understand this is like betting against the house. Rarely, will a person win in these circumstances. So with a sad heart, I turn the page on a chapter of my life that is long gone. I have received sooooooo much love and support from total strangers who have offered me their trailer or to buy me a new one. So I am graciously (and slightly bashfully) creating this page for anyone who has felt the moving feeling in their heart to offer to help me buy a new trailer. This will be the best option so I can avoid having any problems in the near future with maintenance. Thank you all for your love and support for this old Disabled Veteran. My heart has been touched more by your outpouring support than by the villains act I experienced.
