Please help me not lose everything!

Hey y'all. This is one of the hardest things I had to do, but I need your help. As many of you may know and many not, I have been fighting to save my lower leg and foot from being amputated. In August, I went in for emergency surgery because I have Charcot Neuropathy foot disease. Charcot is the collapsing of the bones in your foot. My foot bone has shifted and settled in ways a bone shouldn't. Because of this shifting, my bone punctured the bottom of my foot and caused an open wound. (This open wound is the cause of my doctor not being able to go in and put in nuts and bolts and hold my foot together.) Being a diabetic, that is a certain sign that infection may not be far behind. I had to go into emergency surgery in August for Advanced Antibiotic Therapy to help fight any infection. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks. I got pins and a huge contraption on my foot called a Halo. I am not allowed to put any pressure on my foot, so I use a scooter to get around. October 4th, I went in for my second surgery. Getting pins removed and more pins added, plus getting a bigger Halo. I am in this Halo for 6-8 more months. My girls are a huge help, they have to help their mommy get dressed, cleaned, transferred from one place to another. They are the reasons I am asking for help. I can not lose everything!

In two weeks, I have to stop working because of weather and mobility issues. In order for my disability to kick in, I need to be unpaid for 3 months. No income for three months, I will fall behind in my rent and my children and I could be evicted, my car repossessed and no transportation when I can return to work, and finally my medical insurance will be switching to Cobra, which I am responsible for paying with no income. I am at a loss. Besides praying and crying, this was my last option! My girls and I would appreciate anything that you can donate, sharing this with your group and on your page would also be very helpful.
I am also trying to organize a fundraiser. Please look for the flyers and come support. I really never thought I'd have to result to a GoFundMe account, but I will do anything to make sure my girls are okay!
Thank you for your time and sharing my story!
