I need help

Friends, Life is always teaching us lessons we did not know we needed to learn. The lesson I am learning right now is about asking for help. It's been much easier for me to give than it has been to ask. I am sure many of you can relate to this. I'm learning that there is no shame in turning to my community for support during hardship, so I am doing that now. My name is Esma and this fundraiser is to help my family, who desperately need it. On April 13th, my brother, Esnaf, was in a horrific and life altering car accident. The car flipped over and landed in a ditch. He was in the passenger side, where most of the impact was, as you see from the pictures I included. He suffered severe injuries including a shattered hip, shattered knee, broken ribs, broken spine and sacrum , damaged tendons in his arms and a severe a concussion. Unfortunately some of the surgeries were performed incorrectly and his broken sacrum and spine were not even addressed. He had to be transferred to Sarajevo 2 weeks later for revisions of the surgeries to his legs and to have more surgeries for the broken spine and muscle/tendon damages. His recovery is going to be very long, difficult and uncertain. Throughout my life I have always done my best to provide for my family without having to ask for help, but this time is different. This time life has thrown at me much more than I can carry alone. My father is reaching the end of his life after battling cancer for 2 years already. He is still receiving chemotherapy, but he is rapidly deteriorating. My mother, who is his primary caregiver, is struggling to meet his needs because she is elderly and has her own medical issues. He needs more help. My sister in law is laid off due to the pandemic, and that alone has taken a financial toll on them just like it has on all of us here. It's been emotionally overwhelming on all accounts. Between dealing with the consequences of the pandemic here, to watching my dad deteriorate before my eyes and now this. We are uncertain of the long term disability my brother will have to face. I honestly don't think my dad will hang on much longer and the truth is his medical expenses have progressively increased as his health declines. We will use the funds to cover medical costs like wheelchair, hospital bed, caregiver support and even basic needs such as food for his family as he will not be physically able to work soon or possibly ever again. I will be eternally grateful for any help given to my family in our time of need. Whether it be financial help or through prayer, no gift will be taken for granted. We will update everybody on his recovery status along the way. We hope and pray for the best Prijatelji moji, Zivot nas uvjek uci leckije koje nismo znali da trebamo nauciti. Lekciju koju ja ucim sad je kad traziti pomoc. Uvjek mi je lakse bilo dati nego traziti. Sigurna sam da se mnogi mozete naci u ovome. Ucim se da nema srama obratiti se ljudima za pomoc u nevolji, i pokusavam sad da to uradim. Zovem se Esma, i ovaj apal za pomoc je za moju familiju koja je u prekoj potrebi. Aprila 13og, moj brat, Esnaf, je bio i uzasnoj i zivotno ugrozenom sudaru gdje se auto vise puta prevrnulo i zavrsulo u kanalu, kako vidite po slikama. On je bio suvozac a njegova strana je naj vise satrana. U tim posljednicama su ozbiljne teske povrede: razne slomljne i razbijene kosti na kicmi, kuku, karlici, koljenu, rebra, ostecene misici i tetive na rukama i potres glave. Nazalost one prve operacije nisu urađene dobro pa su ga 2 sedmice poslje prebacili u Sarajevo gdje su morali ponoviti operacije koje su vec urađene i plus operirati druge djelove koje su upucene za Sarajevo. Njegov oporovak ce biti tezak, dug i nepredvidiv. Kroz zivot sam se trudila da pomognem porodici koliko sam ja mogla. Ali ovaj put je drugacije. Ovaj put je zivot nabacio na mene vise nego sto ja mogu podnjeti sama. Moj otac je na kraju njegovog zivota i vec dvije godine se bori rakom. Jos prima kemoterapije ali i njegova situacija je dodatno pogorsana. Moja mama, je njegov glavni njegovatelj, i bori se za njegove potrebe, i ako je i ona stara i ima svoje zdravstvene probleme. Osjecam se da nema pause od stresa, zalosti i nemoći. Prvo ova pendemija svakog pritisla, pa gledajuci oca i brata kako se raspadaju a ja nemocna. Neznamo koliko dugo brata invalidnost ceka. A za oca, da iskreno kazem, Bog naj bolje zna koliko dugo ce izdrzati, i njegove medikalne potrebe su povecanje. Bit cu vam zauvjek zahvalna za ikakvu pomoc koja je potrebna mojoj familiji u ovom vremenu, dali to bila u financijskoj pomoci ili u molitvi. Ni jedan dar od vas nece biti uzet zdravo za gotovo. Hvala vam puno i Halali te.
