My husband was driving to work January 3rd when his car slipped on some black ice. The car slid across the median into oncoming traffic and then went headfirst into a ditch at 60 MPH. The airbags deployed and the car started to fill with smoke. My husband crawled out of the car and laid on the side of the road until someone saw him and called 911. When he got to St.Anthony's Hospital they discovered that he had fractured his spine. The next day he had emergency surgery to place 2 screws in each of the vertabre above the burst fracture and 2 screws in the vertabre below the burst fracture and connected the screws with 2 rods. Since the surgery we had to pay tow yard fees and have a salvage company take the car away since it was totaled. We had our car stolen in July and the thieves could not be prosecuted. Our hospital bill is looking to be astronomical. He has insurance but a $6500 before insurance starts to pay even part of it. I also had surgery recently December 8th that I am still recovering from. Jared has no PTO or vacation job and has a physical job. He has 6 months of recovery ahead. I am an RN and will be staying home taking care of him for 2-3 months. We have no income and no savings left. I am struggling to take care of my husband and a chronically I'll pet that has seizures, congestive heart failure and ataxia and is on 6 medications. We also are now down to 1 vehicle.We need financial assistance desperately. My husband is the most wonderful person. He works so hard and takes such amazing care of me and I cant wait to bring him home. He is struggling with uncontrollable pain and just being in bed is killing him. I'm asking for your help because I'm scared and dont know what to do. I want him to heal and for us to be able to go back to seeing concerts and joining our 80s family in the Sands. This is our happy place and I want for now just to have him home and pay the bills so that I can care for my husband.
