Help with rent and utilities
Donation protected
My name is brittany, and my fiancé was recently paralyzed due to a back surgery gone wrong at Georgetown University Hospital. They hit something in his spine during surgery and caused him to be paralyzed from the waist down. He also has to have a urine bag cause he cannot go on his own and he also has severe nerve damage in his legs and back and hands. As a result of this he lost his job. He’s fighting for disability and a lawsuit against the hospital. This could take a very long time. He’s been denied disability 3 times now. He’s still fighting for it though. A couple months ago he had to have surgery on his legs because of bedsores and nerve damage. I had to quit my job to stay home to take care of him because the surgeries left him with very limited mobility. He’s in a wheelchair and cannot do things for himself . We have no income right now except for some help from family but are running out of funds and we are behind on rent and behind on our electric bill. Rent is due again September 1st and that will make us 2 months behind and we are 2 months behind on electric. They are threatening to turn off the electric and if I don’t have money for the the rent we will lose our place to stay. We have a beautiful 7 year old daughter and I really don’t want to have to go through this and be kicked out with a child and him being in a wheelchair. I have no idea where we would go or what we would do honestly. If anyone could help us in any way we would greatly appreciate it and it would be a blessing. I didn’t want to do this but at this point I have no other option. I pray we can come up with the money so I don’t have to put my family through this. Thank you in advance to anyone that can help. I understand others are also going through difficult times like we are so if you cannot donate we understand and would ask if you could share our story so we can possibly get the help we need.
