hi, my name is Dean’o Handsaker and i am a 15-year soldier and veteran of East Timor. I’ve been battling PTSD and Major Depression now for 15 years.
I have had the chance to be selected on going back to East Timor under the umbrella of Timor Awakening ran by Michael Stone (under the umbrella of Veterans Care Gary Stone his father) back in 2016 which gives holistic care and a form of solace to veterans and first responders.
https://www.timorawakening.com/ https://veteranscare.com.au/ After my return, i had a new lease on life and since then have found an inner peace and solace.
reinventing myself a went and learned how to make knives come kitchen knives or hunting knives which gives me great fulfillment. since doing my course a year ago at tharwa valley forge owned by Karim Haddad I have met a miriad of brilliant people who want to help in giving back to the veteran community, such people like Jason Heineman and Richard Morgan both very high-end artisans bladesmiths and leather workers. they together have forged and made a Blade and sheath to be sold for all proceeds to got to Timor awakening to help future veterans to be a part of this holistic program. It costs 5K to send one digger back under the program.
Please Note: Buyers must ensure they check and abide by their state and national legislation prior to purchasing tickets please, each state his different laws in regards to certain blades however, it would be up to the individual to ensure that local state and national rules and regulations are met.
this charity means the absolute world to us and i hope and pray you could help us to Honour our veterans and buy as many tickets you can to raise as much as we can.
thank you,
