After my husband's cardiac arrest

Donation protected
My husband suffered a sudden cardiac arrest which has absolutely ruined our lives. By the way, this is my husband and our transgendered son, Roger. Those who knew him before he came out knew him as Celine. He is our child, and we love him unconditionally.  
Anyway, my husband was a welder making energy towers for Trinity Towers in Clinton. Now he can't weld because they had to install an implantable device in his chest which isn't compatible with the energy fields around the things he was working with. But it seems to go further than that. This has caused him employment issues. I also have my own health issues: interstitial cystitis and chronic pain which is quite severe.

Currently, we need to raise $200 to keep our water on and our car insurance paid. We also need to raise money for my husband's car insurance fine, I believe it's $500 but I'm not 100% sure, they tack all those fees on and everything. This isn't to speak of daily necessities and bills. We're a mess right now! But we aren't giving up! Anyway, back to the fine, he was just trying to take me to my old job and they had one of those random stops where everyone gets stopped. So he was caught with no insurance. So we have to pay or we can't drive (unless we want to risk jail). We still have a fine to pay for that also, and are not sure how we'll pay, so that's also pretty scary, because if we don't pay the fine, Caleb goes to jail--- and I can't drive at all right now (because of a similar issue) and there aren't any buses in Washington. Anything anyone can do to help is appreciated. Things were going better for awhile, but we've fallen on hard times again, and it's going to take a little time to get things where they should be. We just need  for under standing people to help us out. It's terrible to be made a criminal because you can't afford to pay your car insurance. Thanks so much to everyone who has been understanding. We just need people to understand that we aren't bad or lazy, we're unhealthy, and in this country, it can cost you everything, beyond even the monetary. For every donation of $50 or more, I'll draw a small portrait for you of the person (or thing!) of your choice. It's a sacrifice for me because of the pain it causes me to draw with my nerve impingment. But it's the only thing I can think of to do to say thanks. For anything less than $50, I'll still make something creative for you or write you a letter or something. That is, if you want! Lol. Caleb is going to start school in the fall toward a new career since he can no longer weld and he needs to support us.

Here's an album of some of my art. It's a small sample. I can draw anything and would welcome any sort of commissions anyone might have as well:
