Behind on bills with 2 kids & hospitalized husband

Donation protected
My husband of 20 years, just had to have part of his right leg amputated, just below the knee, yesterday morning. He is only 47 years old. He has been an insulin dependant diabetic since he was a young child. He has been a very hard worker since he was a teenager. He has not been able to work in many years. He had a heart attack in 2009. That's when all of the major problems started. He has had multiple heart surgeries since then. He had a stroke in 2012. And that's when he started having seizures. He has lost 3 of his toes in the last couple of years. And last year he broke a bone on the right side of his right foot. He had surgery on it the day after Christmas. It got infected and became a large round black spot on the bottom and side where the surgery was done, a couple of weeks ago. He was admitted to the hospital right away last Saturday night and had the surgery yesterday morning. I have been out of work for a a little over a month, and just started a new job as a server. I am just training now so I'm not making money yet. We are behind on rent and are probably going to be evicted on Mon October 7th if I don't have it caught up. My power will also possible be turned off then. We have 3 children, a 16yr daughter, a 17yr old son,and a 23yr old daughter. Both teenagers have put in applications for a lot of places, so they can help, but have not been able to get one yet. I have borrowed a lot of money from family members and I can't do that anymore . They have been so helpful and generous and there for us every step of the way. But there is only so much they can do. We are a very independent family. And we don't mind working for our money. Our kids have been taught and believe the same thing. I do not get any kind of government assistance, food stamps, or anything else. I'm at my wit's end with everything and I have no clue what I'm going to do about anything. So any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. And if/when we get on our feet, we will pay it forward. We have always tried to help anyway we could. But now we need it. Thank you so much.
