My name is Cathy Jo. On July 17, 2015, my husband, Donnie was in a severe Motorcycle accident that was no fault of his own. He was hospitalized with bleeding on the brain, broken clavical, broken ribs, a knee injury and an ankle injury. Neither one of us has worked since that date. He is out of the hospital and needs 24 hour care due to his head injury with dizzy spells and instabillity at times. He has Short Term Memory Loss due to this accident and also a personality change. He is unable to focus on one thing without his mind wondering to other things. He may need a knee surgery in the near future which will keep me out of work longer. We have NO income coming in at the present time. We recently were able to received food stamps and several has helped with money here and there. There was a benefit ride for us on August 29, 2015 and that was a huge help; however, we are still struggling with being able to make our mortgage payment and the rest of our monthly bills. Even when I am able to return to work, my income alone will not be enough to pay our bills. Because of No income, our credit has been damaged and bills seem to be getting farther and farther behind. I also was in the hospital with hysterectomy surgery this past May for 4 weeks. My husband Donnie will need a driving class before he will be able to drive a car again which may not be until 4-6 months from the accident and may not be able to work until 8-12 months depending on how well he does on his Neuropychological examination in December, 2015. If he needs surgery on his knee and/or if or when his dizzy spells are completely gone, I may be out of work even longer to care for him. NEVER EVER did we think we would have to do something like this in order to pay our bills; however, If there is anything people are able to do to help us in our time of need to help with our finances, we would be so grateful! No amount donated is to small and anything would be appreciated. Thank you so kindly in advance. ----------Donnie & Cathy Jo Hall
