Hello. My name is Michael. I am a loving husband and father. I have 3 kids and an amazing wife. Unfortunately, things are slowly falling apart and we're on the verge of being homeless. My wife has multiple health issues that hinder her from doing even the simplest things, like making a sandwich for our kids. She has a broken back with broken rods, heart problems, kidney problems, diabetes, along with depression from not being able to take care of our kids and work. We had a consultation with a top surgeon at UF Orthopedic and were told the surgery just to stabilize her spine could kill her. It wasn't a matter of if something could go wrong; it was what will go wrong. So basically, everything is on me to handle: working, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, and at times having to rush home to help her up off the floor. It's very stressful, but I am in love with my wife so much there's nothing I wouldn't do for her. I'm currently working every waking hour doing deliveries for Instacart from 5 am to 1 am. Some nights I don't sleep. It's the only thing I can do that gives me the flexibility I need to be able to go home when needed to take care of my wife, pick up the kids from school, make dinner, or get them tucked in. The mental pain she goes through being a mother that can't do the normal things a mother is supposed to do kills me. Many nights I find her sitting in their room crying, apologizing for not being able to be a good mommy. It hurts so bad. And now having to tell my wife we're gonna be homeless... How do I break it to her? I'm in the process of getting something 3rd shift to help with our income. We struggle, but usually, we make it. Barely, but we get by. Right now, we are so behind due to my wife's heart being too big. Letting family come stay with us so they weren't on the street... well, let's just say they used us for what they could, then left without a word when their taxes came. Leaving me with extra bills and money that was borrowed to take care of their child. Between that and some days of missing work due to car issues, it's left us in a situation to be homeless any day. I honestly wanted to throw in the towel. Give in to the whispers in my ear from the devil. And somehow I got connected with one of our local churches and spoke to the pastor and a member. They kind of reminded me of how precious life really is. So here I am, asking my fellow brothers and sisters for help. Just to get out from under this rock that's crushing everything I've worked so hard to have. Honestly, this is my only hope. I know hard times are more common now than ever. But if you can find it in your heart to help a family that's on the verge of being homeless, please, even just a few bucks can make all the difference. And if you're not able to donate, please share this for me. Let's get it out there for the world to see.
