Hospital Bills / Teeth Repair

Hi I'm Desmond Chapman or some of you might know me as "DJ Dez" and on April 6, 2014 my life and career would never be the same I was brutally assaulted by a group of men after I fell asleep in my friends vehicle after a long DJ gig in Blackstone,Va I don't remember too much about that day all I can recall is the window shattering and a brick hitting me in the face and a group of guys pulling me out and beating me unconscious, I was told I was carried away to MCV in a helicopter where I found out my jaw was shattered, I lost majority of my teeth and had torn ligaments in my knee and other various bruises and scars on my body at this point I realized I would no longer be the same "DJ Dez" I once was. That didn't stop me from trying to continue my career as a DJ but I definetly noticed different promoters and supporters weren't behind me as much as they once were due to my new unique appearance. I was on a downwards spiral into depression where no one could help me nor did I want to be helped I felt I could do it on my own, didn't want to be treated differently due to my circumstance. I worked hard on rehabilitating and even tried to get a regular job but was denied several times because I wasn't "qualified" or was it my appearance. I would never know how much qualification you need to work at McDonalds, Walmart and other fast food chains. This made my depression worst with having to deal not having any income and at this particular time me and parents weren't getting along so I couldn't make rent so I got kicked out and had to go from shelter to shelter until some of my friends and their families open their doors temporarily until I was back on the street so with nothing to lose I turned to different drugs while I was homeless and wounded up losing myself in the process. I was damn near all out of money, hope,and I felt like giving up. I reached out to my mother she let me stay at the house in the day time but at night I had to find somewhere to sleep I winded up getting clean and started looking at life like fuck it I been through all this and I'm not dead yet let me get back to DJing and stop feeling down on myself so I slowly got back in the game of promoting/DJing and on Sept 5, 2014 my attacker was brought to justice I wish him and his family nothing but the best because I know everyone makes mistakes and people go through things in their life and I don't know what he was thinking at the time of the attack but God bless him and his family. I've been through to much to judge anyone on their past mistakes and I don't want to be judged on what I've shared with you guys just a little insight on my situation and how I've learned from it I don't want any pity either all I ask for in my time of need is a little bit of assistance because I have plenty hospital bills and I still don't have a full smile I just want to be able to laugh again with out being ashamed or thinking of the past. If you guys can find it in your heart to go fund me I feel as if I would have really beaten the odds and now I can say I'm a survivor through depression, homeless, broke etc. I just would like a fresh start at life and I've already started by cutting my dreads and cleaning up my act because I know I wasn't the best man I could be but now I'm ready to continue forward in the right direction as Desmond Chapman and all I ask for is a smile for those of you who have stuck around and read this roller coaster I call my life God bless you and follow the link please and donate all I want is my smile and life back... Amen
