Help Us Prevent Eviction: Family in Crisis

Hi

Let me begin by saying I know times are hard for many, and I wouldn't be asking for help unless it was absolutely necessary.

4 years ago, my husband nearly lost his life to Covid Pneumonia. He was in a coma, on a ventilator, and life support for a month, in a rehabilitation hospital for another month, has since had 7 surgeries to attempt to repair the damage to his airway (each with an ICU stay ranging from 5 days to 3 weeks), and eventually ended up with a tracheostomy for life. He can no longer work and hasn't for about a year and a half. He has recently been admitted to Homecare/Hospice.

A few months ago, our 19, 20, and 21-year-old adult children moved in to help with trying to keep up with expenses. One was out of work until March, the youngest was a seasonal part-time employee until February, and our daughter escaped a domestic violence relationship & has recently been facing heart issues and overcoming an eating disorder, and now has a 4-month-old. All the added expenses and time off for appointments, therapies, and physician-preferred leave from work have cut into her income as a daycare worker.

Long story short, our bills are behind and we're facing eviction if we can't get caught up very, very soon.

We need $2500 for rent, about $1200 to catch up the electric bill, and about $400 to catch up on phone bills. We also need a cushion for groceries, diapers, car insurance, gas, and prescription and medical costs. (Phones are imperative for communication when there are disabled/health challenges in the home.)

If we can just get caught up, I think we'll be okay until we hear about my husband's disability case.

Please give what you can and share.

Thank you.
