Adopt a Vaccine-Injured Family

Four years ago, a judge in one of Tennessee’s rural family courts violated his sworn duty to “support the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the State of Tennessee” and to “faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent upon” him.

The judge pronounced from the bench that he did not care that parents have the religious right to exempt their children from vaccination, he would award custody of the divorcing couple’s children to whichever parent agreed to immediately get the children fully vaccinated, and he threatened he’d turn the children over to the Department of Children Services.

Children can’t be taken from parents for simply exercising their legal right to use religious exemptions. But the mother believed the judge’s threat. That day, she brought the three children to a clinic, and a doctor (who violated his sworn duty to “first do no harm”) administered multiple injections. Each of the boys, then aged five and nine, had severe adverse reactions and ended up in critical care in the hospital.

The five-year-old did not recover—he regressed into severe autism.

In David’s own words from his GiveSendGo account:

Hi. I’m a divorced Christian father of three. Two boys, ages 13 and 9, and a girl 14 years old. I’m having a hard time paying basic utilities and basic necessities for my family.

My 9 year old has severe regressive autism. He was five when he regressed. He requires 24 hour care. He eats out of a bottle, around 20 a day, wears a diaper and doesn’t talk. If you have a child with regressive autism or know someone, you will understand what our days are like.

My son was not like this until a few years ago family court ordered he get 17 vaccine doses at once, even though we had always submitted our religious objections to vaccination. My other children also were forced the same, but it was my youngest that was the most hurt. After he was given all the shots, he ended up in the hospital and he regressed into autism.

Their mother has been gone and not heard from for almost 4 years. She unfortunately made bad choices and I will leave it at that.

My oldest son was born blind in one of his eyes, but he’s a straight-A student, saved and soon to be baptized. My oldest daughter is also a straight-A student, saved and baptized.

My youngest son needs 24 hour care I’m the only one that can do it, with his older siblings helping out as much as they can. It’s very hard to make ends meet with all his speech, occupational, and physical therapy and other appointments.

I am so proud of all my kids, they never complain, but it just kills me inside to see them go without many basic things and not have what they need as they go through these obstacles with our family.

I have cut out everything I can. My kids have no phones, no cable. No Christmas or birthday presents for three years now except from our church that has helped as they can but it’s very tough right now for our congregation.

I am asking and praying for money for gas and truck insurance to get my kids to school and back, and for household sanitation products and such. I’m reaching out to organizations and trying to find a way to make ends meet on my own. In the meantime, my kids and I are grateful for your help.

Thank you, and God bless you and your family. 

Daily life for a family with a vaccine-injured child that requires 24-7 care is a financial, physical, and emotional struggle. Although David is utilizing every resource he can find in an attempt to establish financial stability for his family, every month he is about $300 short of meeting basic needs. Emergencies, such as their only vehicle breaking down, sets them further behind. Every month David must decide which bills to pay, and which to risk not paying.

Children’s Health Defense founder and chairman-on-leave Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has often talked about the 35% of U.S. families, such as David’s, who are unable to meet basic needs. They live in “fight or flight” mode. Literally and figuratively, each day they are staring at an empty fuel gauge and wondering how much longer they can go on. It can be overwhelming to consider how many are in need. Yet wherever there is love, there is hope.

We can make a difference.

As we fight to change an unjust and unethical system that allows such harm to continue, please help us show this vaccine-injured family they are not forgotten or alone. During this holiday season, we are offering you the opportunity to bring help and hope and a bit of holiday magic to David’s family. Here’s how . . .

• Desktop Computer. The children currently have no home computer and must use school computers during recess or after school to complete their homework. A touch screen model is needed so that the child with autism, who is unable to use a keyboard, has the ability to use it.
