Fresh Start Rebuilding After a Life-Altering Injury
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Chris Lockaby, and I find myself at a turning point in my life that I never anticipated. On 10-7-2022, I suffered a life-altering injury—breaking my back—which has left me unable to continue the job I've dedicated myself to for the past 30 years. As a hardworking individual who has relied on physical labor, this setback has been devastating both emotionally and financially.
Since the age of 20, I have been working tirelessly in the field as a climbing Arborist. I have poured my heart and soul into my work, honing my skills and providing for my family. Unfortunately, the accident has left me with limited mobility and unable to perform the duties required in my previous profession. This unexpected twist has left me feeling lost, uncertain, and in urgent need of support.
I'm reaching out to you today with a humble request for assistance. Starting over at the age of 50 is a daunting task, but I am determined to rebuild my life and find a new path that aligns with my abilities and passions. However, this journey comes with various financial burdens, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, vocational training, and the challenge of sustaining myself and my family during this transition period.
I am humbly seeking your support in raising funds to cover these pressing expenses. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go a long way in helping me secure a brighter future. Your generosity will enable me to receive the necessary medical care, retrain in a new field that suits my abilities, and meet my basic needs while I work towards regaining my independence.
By contributing to my Fresh Start Fund, you are not only providing financial assistance but also offering me hope and a renewed sense of purpose. Your support will empower me to rebuild my life, regain my confidence, and create a fulfilling and sustainable future. I am committed to paying it forward and using my experiences to inspire and support others facing similar challenges.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude for taking the time to read my story and consider supporting my campaign. Your generosity means the world to me and will make a significant difference in my life. Please share this campaign with your network, as spreading the word is just as valuable as making a donation. Together, we can help me overcome this setback and embark on a new chapter filled with hope and resilience.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
Chris Lockaby
