)Ben Hammond of Western Australia, a hard-working miner, husband, and primary provider for his family, was struck with a life-threatening paralytic vaccine reaction shortly after his youngest child was born prematurely. Before being allowed to see his newborn son, Ben was required to have a dTpa vaccine. Unfortunately, it was this shot which landed Ben in the same hospital as his son, fighting for his life as a wave of paralysis crept up his spine, stopping his heart two separate times. What was supposed to protect his son almost separated son and father forever.
Amazingly Ben survived, and spent a lengthy period in rehabilitation, eventually learning to walk again, albeit unsteadily. However, the autoimmune reaction that attacked his spinal cord caused permanent harm, and he lives with the ongoing effects of damage to the function of many of his systems, and is unable to provide for his family.

Despite being unable, so far, to obtain government or other compensation for his injury, Ben and his wife lived off savings and family help for a couple of years until they hit a financial wall. Their house in foreclosure, Tanya full-time caring for Ben, and their bills piling up, they swallowed their pride and turned to the public for help to buy medical supplies and put food on the table for their five kids. It has not been easy to ask for charity. Five years ago, they would never have thought that they would have to put their hand out for help, because they have always prided themselves on providing for their family.
Ben is currently engaged in litigation against the Western Australia government hospital that administered the vaccine to him.
If Ben is successful in his litigation, it will be a watershed for vaccine injury law in Australia. Finally there will be accountability in Australia - hospitals and government departments will know that they can be held responsible for harming people with their coercive policies and they will no longer be able to walk away scot-free!
Every little bit counts. Thank you so much for your support. https://www.paypal.me/hammondfamily1!
