Clay had a stroke and now our lives are in peril

Donation protected
Hi
Clay and I have quite a story. We have been together about 20 years now. We have gone through many ups and downs. Our lives were so happy for a long time. Right now though, is something we cannot handle alone. This all started in 2014. Clay's youngest son Dylan was murdered when 2 men tried to steal his truck. Clay has not been the same since then. Dylan was such a special man. He was 23, had a good job as an electrician, and also served in the Army National Guard. His passing was devastating. We lived with that, and then in 2021, Clay's firstborn son was having many troubles. He looked just like Dylan....just like Clay. He came to us telling us he could handle everything in his life. We tried to help as much as we could. He had some things that he found too hard to handle and he ended his life. This second devastation has been too much for Clay to bear. He was working very hard for Anderson Dairy and he has been depressed for such a long time. Well just about 2 months ago, Clay had a stroke. It has completely ruined us. Clay used to be the one who paid the bills. I have gone to work after many years on disability. Clay cannot stand the fact that we have to ask for money. We paid our bills and didn't have to worry. We were not rich but we got by. We are now behind in our rent. I can't seem to get ahead. Clay cannot go back to work. He cannot walk without the help of a walker, and his right side is completely numb. Now we are having an issue with our dog who needs to see a vet. Something is wrong with his eye. We don't have the money to take him. We also have a cat who needs to be fixed and get his second round of shots. Again, we cannot afford this. This is so hard for him to take. I don't want the stress to be too much again, and watch him have another stroke. We also cannot get kicked out because we cannot be homeless. I would lose my job and he would not survive. We also have a car payment that is behind because we can't afford everything. We need help. If we could just catch everything up, I hope to be able to pay for everything until Clay gets on social security. That won't be for about 6-7 months. We will be homeless by then.
Can you please help? We need the money to pay for the car, the animals, the rent and some food. If you could help with anything, we would appreciate it. Clay used to be proud, and funny and we had a decent life. If you could see what this has done to him, it would be heartbreaking. We need help to get back to life.
