You can purchase it and give it to him. This might sound snide and crass but being a disabled veteran doesn't automatically qualify someone for free equipment. I served my country and I am also disabled however I would never think about joining a photo forum and as a first post ask about getting free gear. I saved a little bit at a time from my disability check until I could afford an old DSLR just to see if I would enjoy the hobby. Older model cameras and kit lenses are not that expensive. I'll guarantee you can find a setup for under $200.00 with camera batteries and a couple lenses. The Gimp software is freeware so it's very affordable.

I bet you were not raped on active duty or lost everything in a fire like she did.
Yes, and Yes He does a free workshop for Vets to ride horses. I thought some might be interested in getting cameras. Sending you a pm
We are not talking about your friend we are talking about a lady that is a disabled veteran who lost everything in a fire and needs a camera to assist in her PTSD recovery. Please don’t try to circumvent the conversation to your friends group as this not about him.
After reading all the replies, I am backing out of the deal. Too much confusing on who is getting the camera, who is running the project. Sorry that it.
I Chris Taylor is the one running the program and Laurie Housworth is the veteran in need of the camera.
Not to kick a dead horse, but if I had seen this post a month ago I would have mailed you a camera I sold, to be truthful I don't get that much for it and it was not in any way an up to date issue and was 10 years old. Still wish you the best
