My disabled son and I desperately need your help.

Goal 1: Preliminary forensic audit: $2,000
Goal 2: Deep forensic audit: approximately $6,000 (Currently on Goal 1)
On Jan. 28, 2020, the Workers’ Comp Court gave us a year to have a falsified videotape forensically examined.
At last my son and I can finally prove the defense’ lies, of 2002, that have prevented his vital treatment! The preliminary forensic audit is at least $2,000, just to state definitively, “Yes, this videotape has been tampered.”
Masquerading as a reliable copy, it is this video that cut out the heart of evidence of my son’s injury, by deliberately re-purposing footage after the fact of a very physically active truck driver (heavy lifting, carrying, w/ stair climbing), over the top of what the doctors needed to see, causing the reviewing Orthopedic Medical Evaluator to mistake him, as my son.
Even worse:
The way this unscrupulous act is "burying the lead" with unrelated "b-roll" footage, it's fostering insidious innuendo, making it look like all slow, cautious, guarded and protective activity seen throughout / before the masked key moment of truth (over 5 minutes of severe neurological symptoms just before going unconscious), was an elaborate hoax; causing his (previous) attorney to completely re-work the premise of all claims around this as it's new centerpiece, which his new attorney won't correct, without this forensic audit!
24 years ago, inside the back of a large, box-style truck, my son used his body to press into and stop the rolling of a very tall stack of shrink-wrapped 76.1 lb. wheel & tire assemblies, to protect a first day, 16-yr-old employee, from being crushed by 1 ½ tons of freight.
In an instant, my son’s healthy life was taken from him by one free-falling assembly (roughly 22 mph), hitting his head in such a way that; but for his significantly above average physical conditioning, would kill most young men. (4-inch-wide, ½ inch deep dent in his head.) Without a call to 911 or being taken to an emergency room, my son was rushed away to an empty room on the cusp of unconsciousness; where what remained (years of mindfulness training), gave rise to an intense survival impulse of extreme writhing, which kicked in to “self-treat”, by forcing the post shaped part of the 2nd vertebra of the upper cervical spine to dislodge MORE THAN 2 CENTIMETERS of it from his cranium, where it was deeply distorting/spreading his brain stem around it.
The way it hit on my son’s head and buckled his upper cervical spine forward, it permanently over-stretched all the ligaments so badly that they could no longer hold the top 2 vertebrae (C1 and his head) in place. Thus, when not horizontal, gravity causes the head and first vertebra to move forward and down, just as before.
Can you imagine spending your life mostly horizontal, twisting, and pressing home-made hard “pillows” into just below the skull to stop pressure on the brain stem, to not risk going unconscious?!
Because the medical examiner and son’s previous attorney were tricked by the tampering:
1) – He (his attorney) ultimately dropped him in 2005 (to represent carriers), and left him with a do-nothing attorney;
2) - His temporary disability payments were stopped, leaving him with no income at all (SSDI is waiting on this resolution too)
I, his mother, could not let him be homeless because being so disabled he couldn’t defend himself, and would die if left to fend for himself on the streets. (The instability of this joint keeps him vulnerable to "drop attacks" and going unconscious at dangerous moments.)
What mom would allow a severely injured son to be homeless, when on the streets, he would die?! Thus, I began covering all his living expenses [food, rent, medical devices, everything] using my small teacher’s retirement.
At last, after 18+ years, it can be known the videotape is false!:
Finally, my son would be vindicated, the defense’s lies proved, and he can be referred to the upper cervical sub-specialist he needs. At last, by now, over 22 years later, he will be prescribed a recently developed and highly effective treatment!
Then, just after the Court orders additional discovery on the videotape, the CoVid-19 shutdown closes the forensic examiner's offices.
Will the court give my son more time?
Will the court never learn the truth?
Will my son ever be treated?
All these years, since 2002, I have spent more than $1,400 per month for his care, as well as my savings. I am now 84. I must stay alive to care for my son. I fear my funds may not last long enough, if I live long enough.
Look closely at the photo. See where the arrow points. This rounded pointed bone can press into his brain stem, stopping his body functions (heart and breathing become severely suppressed). He goes unconscious and can’t move his arms, hands or trunk for many hours when very gradually waking.
Can you help?
Anything would be appreciated.
God bless you!
