Pain relief for Chris
Donation protected
Please DONATE
help me overcome pain and turn my life around.
I need your help to reduce the amount of pain I suffer from. Please donate.
I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis and as such suffer with widespread pain, warmth is the only thing I've found that helps relieve the pain
Unfortunately as I am 52 years old they will not consider surgery for the osteoarthritis as they say I am too young, and there is currently no cure or help for fibromyalgia.
Please help me start this business to ease the pain.
Please help to turn my life around for the better by donating to bring this house in Bulgaria up to modern standards, so I can live here and run it as a hostel / bed & breakfast holiday business, doing this will enable me to be independent and not needing to rely on benefits.
The house
I have spent time in the Bulgaria before and also lived in Greece for several years, and I would like to run my own business tied in with my own interests fishing, gardening, cooking, history.
Renovating this house would allow me to do this whilst also allowing an improvement to the pain I suffer from due to the warmer weather.
The house and garden
The house is in overall good condition, the only major works required are the installation of a new sewage system as currently the property only has an outdoor toilet that consists of a shed over a sespit with a hole to stand over (not very nice), the installation of a heating system, and new electrics. The heating and electrics are something that I am able to fit myself having had a lot of previous experience.
The outside toilet.
The property stands on approximately 1000 square meters of land, which means I will be able to continue my favourite hobby 'gardening' and grow all my own vegetables, gardening is something I really enjoy doing and find very therapeutic.
The money you donating will pay to modernise the property, with the installation of a modern sewage system, central heating, electric, decor and furnishing of the property.
Once the property is modernised I will fund the cost of living by running the property as a hostel/bed and breakfast holiday venue.
The area is perfect for fishing holidays being only 500 meters to the river Danube and close to the rivers Iskar and Esk.
The Blue Danube.
One of many local fishing areas.
There are established cycle routes in the area for cycling holidays.
Cycle route.
For those interested in history there is the remains of a large roman town 'Ulpia Eskus' to explore just 4 miles away, and lots of other historical sites within easy traveling distance.
One of many roman ruins.
All donations, small or large are greatly appreciated.
I would be very grateful if you would share my campaign even if you cannot donate.
About me
My name is Christopher Richmond but I prefer being called Chris. I am 52 years old born to an English father and a Greek mother, I was christened Christoforos (Χριστόφορος) in the Greek Orthodox Church in Manchester. After leaving school in 1982 I took and passed the radio amateur exam, around 1984 I moved to Crete, Greece for 8 years working as a waiter, barman, bakers assistant and electrician before returning to the uk.
Over the years I have had several operations, bunion removal on both feet, scrotal hernia, inguinal hernia, and also a hiatus hernia operation in which they also removed 4 inches of my oesophagos that was in a pre-cancerous state, also an operation for an anal fissure, and finally an operation for carpel tunnel.
I suffered with varying degrees of depression for around 15 years and Ihave suffered a number of mental health breakdowns, but currently I am the best I have been for a long time with depression being almost non existant.
I do still have other health problems some treatable like high blood pressure, acid reflux, vitamin D deficiency, and some untreatable such as osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. The pain from the latter two are massively eased by warmer weather (especially in my fingers) but so far pain relief medicine has had no effect.
I suffered with varying degrees of depression for around 15 years and Ihave suffered a number of mental health breakdowns, but currently I am the best I have been for a long time with depression being almost non existant
My fight with depression and anxiety over the years eventually led to me self harming.
The last breakdown was the worst where I cut myself and stabbed a skewer through my hand and was still refused any help from the local health authority, I then used 95% concentrate nitric acid to write on my arm 'I hate me' and despite my flesh smoking and bubbling whilst burning away I didn't feel any pain at all, it was as though I was watching someone else doing it. But at least this got the help I needed from the mental health crisis team after spending a week in the secure mental health unit.
