A Car Crash Put Me in a Coma & Cost Me My Leg. Now, Without Help, It'll Also Cost Me My Home!

My Story:

Hello everyone, I am a disabled amputee and mother of one adult son. Around 6 years ago, my life changed forever. My son, 15 at the time, and I were in a terrible car accident, and although we both survived, I was in a coma for six weeks with massive internal injuries. Not to mention, my son and I both sustained injuries to our heads and left legs. My leg even ended up needing to be amputated. I'm in a wheelchair, and my finance has taken on a caregiver role for me. It is a miracle my son and I are alive, and I am thankful every day I get to wake up at home with my family. We earn enough to pay for our basic expenses every month but currently are living paycheck to paycheck. I receive social security disability, and my soon-to-be husband is paid to care for me. My adult son works but lives with a relative.

If this was not bad enough, the accident came off the heels of my fiances mother suddenly passing away. She had a heart attack, and my fiance had to pay the burial expenses. This was already straining our financials, so 6 weeks' worth of medical bills ruined us. After all this happening right in a row, we fell behind on our rent, and I'm terrified we may never catch up. We tried our best to stay on top of payments while going through these past few horrific months, but the medical and funeral bills were so costly that it is impossible to keep up now.

We are asking for this one-time help with our rent, so we can get current again. This help would mean my family and I do not have to suffer through homelessness when we have already suffered so much. My poor fiance is barely able to cope with his mother dying like this let alone my son and I getting into a near fatal car wreck and sustaining permanent disabilities. His job and life have changed both drastically and suddenly, so he is just as traumatized as my son and I. If you found it in your hearts to give to our situation, we would be beyond thankful. This help would mean we could begin to piece our lives back together. Thank you.
