Desperately seeking help please

I am a transplant reciepient whose transplant has rejected.
I am the recipient of a cornea and membranes from someone that passed away on october 18th 2018. I lost my vision in my right eye due to viral meningitis and shingles. I was given 48 hours to live if my medication didnt start to work. I have 4 kids and fought as hard as I could, feeling all alone in isolation in intensive care with no visitors and the strongest will to get the hell out of there. That was only 2 years ago. And I still suffer the headaches and nerve damage daily so much so I cant stand outdoors for too long as light burns my eyes and i get dizzy due tp lack of depth perception.
Most stories are positive. My experience sadly hasnt been and my transplant rejection is so severe Im at risk of now losing my eyeball, again i completely blind in my right eye. And i feel guilt that someone donated their beautiful eye to me and my body doesnt want it although my heart does.
I am unable to work due to being sick. And I have fallen behind in our bills. I have 4 kids, one of which has rare disabilities and relys on me as a carer. She has physical and psychological disabilities. I have resorted to selling items around our home but I have not been very successful.
I feel terrible that my kids have to suffer because of me, because I struggle financially.
I would not resort to this unless I was desperate. It is very embarrasing and shameful having to ask for help. But I feel like I have no choice
