Looking for assistance for a medical recovery

Donation protected
2 weeks ago I underwent emergency surgery and almost died from an infection. The surgeries removed 2 large fist size holes from my pelvis area and will take 3 to 5 months to heal preventing me from working for the next 3 months. I am at risk of reinfection due to other medical reasons and have many appointments and professionals coming to my home to ensure reinfection doesn't happen. I am now out of work for 3 months, I am asking for help with my bills just to get me thru this time. I asked for 4000 but in reality any amount would help so much. I was struggling living paycheck to paycheck before all of this and now I am scared. I am attempting to get help with rent but I will still need to pay lights internet and other needs like daycare costs, diapers, laundry mat costs and food as i have a 3 and 5 year old that are with their dad while i heal as I cannot lift, drive or do much of anything as I am in a lot of pain and on medication that makes driving not an option, but i would like to contribute to the costs as it will not be easy for him to do it alone. During this time I will be taking classes to complete my MHRTC at home over zoom so I will be utilizing this time to ensure a better future for myself but need to have internet to do this or i would not mind shutting it down during this time. I have always been a hard worker and asking for help is incredibly hard for me but I do not know how i will survive this time with no pay checks. I was working 60 to 80 hours a week as a per diem before this and was let go as I will be missing too much work and because I was per diem I am not eligible for any benefits. I cannot get unemployment as i am unable to work and being able to work is a requirement to receive it. I have no problem showing pictures of my wounds if anyone wants proof of my surgeries as I understand it's hard to trust to send ppl money especially if they are someone you dont know or dont know well. I want to thank you for reading this and if you can help thank you i have no one i can ask to help me nor would I feel comfortable asking someone for a loan as I do not know anyone that would be in a position to help in such a huge way with no way of knowing when id be able to pay it back. If you are unable to help with donations I completely understand as it is hard times out there for everyone but if you could share this that would be a huge help in itself. Thank you!
