Easing the Burden for Mike and Jessica

Hello Everyone,

My name is Mike Brown. I am a teacher in Omaha, Nebraska.

I normally don't like to do this but am trying to make all ends meet. My wife Jessica and I could use a little help. We are in need of some help due to circumstances that are out of our control. My wife was recently in an accident and has not been able to work. She has been able to heal but every time she goes back to work something happens that causes her to have to miss work. Most recently she was hospitalized for 4 days because she was bleeding internally that was leaking out. She has had 3 surgeries in the past 6 months alone. This is frustrating to her as she loves to work and has not been able to consistently. While I'm happy she is healthy.

Tomm make matters worse in February we lost my mother who had been battling cancer, between taking her to her treatments and the appointments for my wife my paid days off are completely gone at work. So my checks are not as full as they should be this past paycheck my check was about $1000 dollars less. I am a teacher and don't make a lot of money but my check still at least covers our rent and almost all of the utilities.

I teach about 2 hours away from where my family live in Maryville, MO. So what we the help for is to cover the utilities that I can't as well as car payments and insurance as I need a dependable vehicle to get back and forth to Omaha for work. My wife should be able to go back to workin the next week or two but we just need some help for the in between.

Anything would be appreciated,

Mike and Jessica Brown
