My name is Rik and I'm a U.S. Army Veteran who served this nation from 3-69 to 1-72 during the Vietnam War. I was recently diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary
Fibrosis (IPF) which is a serious chronic (long-term) disease that affects the tissue surrounding the air sacs, or alveoli, in your lungs. This condition develops when that lung tissue becomes thick and stiff for unknown reasons The Veteran's Administration or no one can determine the exact cause of the IPF, but possibly from military service. I have been tested for Agent Orange several times and each time was negative. I am now required to use Oxygen @ 3 liters p/minute 24/7.

I cannot work any longer as any physical activity, even with oxygen, reduces my O2 level to below 75% which is very dangerous. So, I'm asking for some kind-hearted Patriot folks to help a Veteran buy a solar home generator for my home. I cannot afford one on my income and my bank has already rejected my loan request owing to my income being so small.

I live in a rural area of Oklahoma, and we have frequent power outages in our area. If the power goes off for more than 2 hours I have to sit in my vehicle with a portable oxygen unit. The batteries only last for two hours without charging, so I must use the portable unit in the truck while recharging the batteries.

I have pictured the Generator I want to buy from 4 Patriots.com. I included the link to their website so you many peruse their site yourself. This is a small solar generator and will power up my Oxygen machines for hours. It runs off solar power which is stored in its internal batteries. This is the best option and most cost-efficient.

I am a Christian and very strong American Patriot who loves this country, our flag, our U.S Constitution. My oath to our country & family will never expire. I've never asked for help like this in my life. I guess I've felt to proud to ask.

If you can find a way to help me raise this money, I will be earnestly thankful. Any amount is very much appreciated. May God multiply your gifts to help.

Sincerely
Rik Hawkins.
