Supply Crate – Brandon

Welcome to another Stack Up Supply Crate update. Can you believe we've written over 475 of these? We don't always get responses back, but when we do, we share them with the streamer who sponsored it and you!

Brandon, a Veteran of the Air Force requested a Supply Crate so he could enjoy some gaming when dealing with his mental and physical health problems that were a result of his service:

I have been out of the Air Force since 2011. Since then I’ve has 3 back surgeries, 1 neck surgery, both SI joints fused, and my right hip replaced. I have been diagnosed with Hyper Mobile Ehlers Dhanos syndrome, and degenerative disc disease. 2 years ago I ended up in the psych ward with suicidal ideations. Since then I have become more active which has helped my mental health. One thing I enjoy doing during my down times, and during recovery from surgeries is playing video games. Not only by myself but also with my two boys.

It's tough living with the various health problems that service can exacerbate. Doing our duties in the Military puts a lot of stress on the body and afterward can become a struggle to live with.

We hope that by sending Veterans like Brandon a Supply Crate, he can use the game console to cope and relax, taking his mind off the pains, mental and physical that he lives with.

Thank you guys so much for the package. I am so excited to be able to play more games with my boys!!

We're especially glad when gaming can be used to strengthen the bonds between a Veteran and his family!
