"Support Our Troop" with PTSD
Donation protected
My son Matthew L. Buendia is a Former Marine Sgt.who served two tours in Iraq and one in Afganistan. He lost 23 friends in battle and his best child hood friend shortly after he came home. He was almost killed in his apt as a woman drove in with her car,
while he slept on the couch. He also saved a woman from a violent attack in 2011 a month prior to the incident.
He has always been a passive young man, an honor student, and received citizen ship awards throughout school. He was never involved with the law. He came home from war with severe PTSD. From the time he came home, he began treatment at the VA. He had a good job and was rising to a great future, though he continually had problems with PTSD, the 17 medications he was on, and severe flashbacks. There were several times over the year he would black out with no memory of what he had done or where he had been.
Then on Sept. 30,2011 while having flashbacks he shot and wounded an officer in Tampa Fl. PTDS "triggers" had started the events of that night.Today he sits in solitary Confinement with no treatment for his Illiness. He faces life in prison.
You have a chance to help Matthew and other returnning Veterans with PTSD. I believe his case will be a landmark case for all veterans and future cases. At the time a state senator refered to Matts case on the state house floor, but it takes money to properly defend. America needs to be aware of out Vetrans issues. I ask, how many of you have the yellow ribbon "Support Our Troops" ? Now, is the time to support one.You can help change how PTSD is handled in the courts. We can start NOW. Please I ask your support in helping defend my son Matthew. Veterans and no veterans. WE sent them to defend our way of life. Now give them justice in the courts. Also all money we don't use will be held in a fund set in my sons name by his Attorney and will be given to other Veterans with similar cases. May God Bless you and may you never have to go through this. It is a nightmare for my Family. Help me be able to hug my son again as I did when he returned from war, thinking the fear of losing him was over. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
