Hi my name is Owen I am fundraising because I suffer from CTE post-concussion syndrome.
I have recently slipped deeper into the abyss of loss of mind and brain
Capacity in the sense of keeping anything at all .
Front of mind.
Seems to be Sudden memory loss
Let's become a ever-present issue.
Even setting this program up as difficult for me.
In the action of doing so.
And also in being honest with the public of what my true situation is.
Never in my life was I a person who knew go and tell everybody everything. Or did I accept the reality of how truly damaged and toward extent by acknowledged
The sins of my Father .
It was an angry man a drunk.
He will come home looking for somebody to take out.
For a long time my older brother got the worst.
But it was a long before he moved out. And I became primary target number one.
This abuse and so many different ways one was punching in the jaw and Temple while holding your head to the floor. The a long strangulation and let go before you go out because of this. I have
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder
Chronic traumatic encephalitis
Asphaysia and all the other goodness the fore mentioned entale.
And for this reason I suffer from sporadic angry episodes and absence seizures or extreme confusion. It basically sentences me too and complete everything for God knows how long. That's not to say that I don't accomplish anything but because I forget so rapidly and changed direction so quickly it's impossible to keep a job a career education it's even difficult to keep the proper schedule with doctors think I'm mad because I forgot.
It is a terrible curse . As I aged I thought I was getting better and then a great night I was attacked by another student at high school. Say again cuz multiple head injuries concussion syndrome. Compounding my already difficult issues.
At that point in time I was removed from the public school system and I was placed in alternative learning program. The teachers at Georgia college and Alps recognized severe depression and trauma in me. Baked a man did that I get psychiatric care. At that point I was sent to Elliot Thomas Barker of oakridge's penetang. This doctor put me on lethal doses of medication in my opinion. I went for treatment. He made me sign a waiver saying he was doing hypnotherapy then he overdosed us all on medication saying that it was to assist in hypnotherapy further damaging our young brains . I was not the only one .
truly.
After pushing Elliott Barker to take my information to the police he realized he would be exposed for overdosing us and so he placed me into the mental health system building .
Suggested that I tell them my story.
After months of trauma isolation even captive against your will certified after telling them everything they did nothing.
My brother came to see me Forest.
It was supposed to finish taking care of a lawsuit against the school for my concussion issues. My brother got his power of attorney from me.
Soon as I turned 18.
Then he disappeared and I have no idea how he became a millionaire but he is a multi-millionaire before I got out of the hospital. So yes we believe he took the settlement for loss of income given that I was being educated to be a architecture tool and die maker.
We believe he founded that money through uncle Bucks. Not if you're not there at least me not only broke but every time I get a good lawyer my brother hire or something so I can't go after him
It seems I cannot just get ahead of it.
When I try on my own I'm a skilled artist.
What the doctor would tell you is that I lost my intelligence
But I kept my creativity.
Creativity isn't enough to pay the bills neither is general assistance from Ontario disability support.
The metis nation was given money to lift us out of poverty . When I contacted them for my bursaries and France they said that I was too predisposed to trauma and a bad history that they wouldn't help somebody like me think of it this way Talbot if ODSP pays for will help you with it but if they don't cover it we wont cover it. So what they're saying is if you receive ODSP you will get nothing out of the three to five million worth of grants and bursaries given to that organization for each citizen. And so they are stealing from the mouths of the people as well just like my brother did to me. Much like my father did to me silencing me.
Since my whole life has been going from being one person's victim to another person's victim.
I don't like it
I ended up stuck in the institutional system both ways.
Now I've become an old man.
Trying to change my life give some guidance to the youth around me and be productive in my community.
But people don't listen to people who are borderline homeless or mentally ill
Being mentally ill for a few people respect or listen to anything I have to say very few people listen to or respect what happened to me and consider it enough to follow through with the charges and consequences that should have been filed against these offenders.
The end result though is that I am sitting on the sideline on ODSP broke.
So I'm trying to I guess I would say canvas so that I can establish enough money to try and build a better future for myself.
Because of my disability I do not have the competence to use my skills on a daily basis to establish any real foundation.
Foundation is a good word because that's what I would like to do to develop a foundation to help survivors of child abuse concussion syndrome and complex PTSD. There is no real comprehensive program or place out there that a man woman or child can go through to receive the help they need and do the process. And sometimes that help is something as little as being here somebody there to listen to let them get it out. These places don't exist. These are the things I would like to change in the world. If I can establish money and it's just what I will do better things for my family first and community as well. But see I'm going to repeat myself cuz that's what I do being stuck on ODSP
It's next to impossible for me to get ahead even enough to to have a down payment for home
So I'm experimenting with this crowd fundraising I'm helping others in my community by sharing their charities or plates
And I hope that they would do the same for me
My brain is getting tired I'm starting to mumble and make my mistakes in my words.
So for now I'll say good night
