My daughter-in-law is 9 months pregnant. She was heading to the hospital yesterday to have her labor induced. My son was about to get off from work and go there also to be with her. This will be their 4th daughter. My son did not make it to be with her. He was climbing down a ladder and caught is foot and flipped end over end smacking the ladder with his head and landed very awkwardly also partly on his head as he fell off the roof he was working on.  His wife had to turn around and go get him because no one called ambulance for him. He has lost most of his memory and still does not know who people are( it is getting better). He is in the hospital with his 9 month pregnant wife sleeping in a chair beside him. She is trying to comfort him all the while she needs comforted also.  She was crying all day and worrying about many things including her husbands health and the health of the next baby. Their kids are at her grandpa's house as no where else for them to stay right now. Her last day worked was Tuesday. No clue when he will be able to work again. His concussion and his body will recover(from the sounds of it). Their daughters 6, 4, 2, and next one is any day or hour, I am also worried about at least for the next couple of months. They do not have insurance and he can't claim work comp as he is 1099 worker. I do not know how they will make it for a while. It really hurts as I can't help em much either as I have not worked for the last 5 months and can't go back to work for 3 weeks. In a month I will be helping them as much as I possibly can.  I very very seldom ever ask for help as I can stand on my own 2 feet and handle whatever however. But I am desperate and for one of the first times ever, I don't know what to do and can't even help my son and his family. 
I know my son would never ask for help. He never asks me for help and I have to ask my daughter-in-law when I "think" they are in need, which is rarely.  They do a pretty good job of taking care of themselves and their family.  But this time - they can't take care of themselves or their daughters. It hurts so bad I can't help my kids.  Very sad when a 50 year old man who rarely cries - can't stop crying.
My car groups, For A and for B bodies only groups have been a great help and some have suggested doing just what I am doing right now here.  There are many great folks there.
I saw one time a while back where some "dude" asked if someone would buy him a beer and got thousands of dollars donated to him by thousands of people - very crazy. But if thousands of crazy people can donate to that cause, surely some good folks somewhere could help this family out a little bit.
Like I said I feel desperate and I am swallowing my pride big time by asking others to help my kids.  That should be my job not yours.

If there are any good folks out there that are able to help Hawk and Valarie, I would be indebted to you forever.  Prayers have helped.  If prayers are all you are able to provide, that would be greatly appreciated also.
