I’m 21 years old and permanently bedbound from slipping down a staircase on the last day of high school (medical evidence). I had hoped to study music and was also shortlisted for a $20,000 law scholarship, but now I’m destined to spend the rest of my life on a bed. Because I am not able to work, I’ve also been on the verge of homelessness for almost a year and my social security payment is only $200/week. I’d like to find some financial stability by seeking recompense for the accident that has caused my severe disability and every bit of misery it entails.

Given the extent of my condition, the payout could be potentially in the millions of dollars if I’m successful in the case. However, for now I need a lot of help to fund the medicolegal reports as well as the expert report assessing the staircase I slipped down. In part due to the complexity of my medical condition, I wasn’t able to find a suitable law firm that is able to fund these reports on my behalf. My solicitor suggested the reports would cost  $15,000 to $25,000 over the course of 1 - 2 years. For now, I will need to pay $5000 to $10,000 for the expert report which needs to be completed within about a month (today is 5th Feb. 2016). Further details about the legal issues: 1  2

I’ve set up a YouCaring page specifically for these reports so that the donations can be counted toward the total needed. I know the goal is quite high, but donations will accumulate, and the case will last 1 - 2 years so there’s time to raise the total amount. I’ve deducted the $2000 that have already been raised from the approx. goal. Please consider donating any amount you can or reblogging this post. Thank you for your support!
