Financial help after 2 tragedies House&Car

Donation protected
On April 24th Myself and family were involved in 2 tragedies one involving a car accident and house fire. We were traveling about an hour away for a heart checkup for my middle child aged 11. The checkup was routine and nothing out of the ordinary was found for her so we picked up a few things up from a store and was going to eat a supper. Before going for supper my sister called us and explained that there was a major fire in our area and that it seemed close to our house. Well being an hour away we had to get someone to confirm what was happening and in fact that the neighbors house and shed/garage was ablaze. Our neighbors house is literally 7 to 10 feet away from ours. So naturally we would catch fire also so cut our trip short and came home knowing that no matter what time we arrived that we couldn't do anything about the fire. On our way back home the weather wasn't the best and there was standing pools of water on the highway about 5 mins out of our city we hydroplaned and went into oncoming traffic spinning in circles. We hit the ditch on the opposite side of the highway and jumped it and hit the rock face sideways and rode it for a good 25 feet and stopped in a small snow embankment. My mother who was driving had minor injuries to her throat and kidneys due to seat belt. Myself in the front passenger side have injuries to my shoulder and chest from the seat belt and knee from hitting the dashboard. My common law wife was behind the driver had gotten injured by hitting the headrest and back of the driver seat with injuries to her face with her bottom teeth puncturing her beneath her lip and head and knee injuries and seat belt injuries also. My daughter who was on the passenger side second row seat was injured with minor seat belt abrasions and really shocked up from the experience. Finally but not least my  son was in the back row seat on the passenger side and sustained almost nothing in regards to injuries  the lucky one I guess just some mental stress but seems ok. We have a limited income as income assistance helps a bit and child tax benefits. My self cannot work due to medical conditions. We have bills and grocery to pay and going to be following behind in all and we are not covered for the damage to the house from the fire. As anyone knows our family we have been through many struggles in our past and to get all this in one day devastated the kids,my self and wife to a point of really being depleted of emotional and physical strength. We have never asked for help in this matter before and really need the support from friends and family to get us out of this rut. Until we get on our feet again emotionally and financially. Even if you cant help financially we ask that you spread the word and come see us we need your support.
