Man, as a fellow climber and dev, I'm really sorry to hear about your accident :( That really sucks. I've jumped onto the pads many times, never expecting there to be a PVC spear waiting to impale me.

The news article made it sound like you were on good terms with the climbing gym and its owner. But it sounds like that accident handicapped and made you destitute. Are you sure there is no legal recourse there, whether against the gym (its insurance, more likely) or least government benefits?

I don't have much money or job connections right now, myself. But would a used Windows laptop help at all? I'd be glad to ship it to you (General Delivery, probably, unless you have a PO box?)
