Jonathen's Family Needs Your Help goin with family crisis

Donation protected
Hello, My name is Jonathen Davila.
I am making this GoFundMe because my family has gone through a tragic and heart breaking ordeal and we are desperate for help.
My wife, Nicole, was pregnant with twins and we were very excited! September 20th 2024 she started feeling really, really sick so we went to the hospital. She was sent home on October 15th (27 days later) with strict bed rest and a diagnosis of Gestation Diabetes and a Kidney Infection. We were already starting to panic at this point because rent was coming up and we were on a single income unexpectedly for almost the whole month. We thought we had many weeks, well into 2025, and we had a plan to be ready for maternity leave and be out of the Holiday season by the time the twins came, even if they came early, but we thought things would be ok again soon when the infection cleared and the diabetes medicine kicked in. Boy were we wrong.
On October 19th, just 4 days later, she was much, much worse. She was using the bathroom on herself, she was hitting/pushing me as I tried to help her, she wasn’t speaking to me. This was so out of character for her and I was so scared. I rushed her back to the ER. She continued to decline until October 30th when she fell into a coma and had to be air lifted to another hospital and I was left with the impossible decision of trying to save them, and I chose to try and save all 3 of them. Nicole was diagnose with the following
Gestational Diabetes, Pre-Eclampsia, Hyperammonemia Encephalopathy, hepatic dysfuntion that led to liver failure, kidney infection that led to AKI/pyelonephritis and eventually kidney failure. Essential multiple organ failure, as well as seizures they just could not control, which led to her brain shutting down, causing the coma.
On 11/20, after almost a month in the coma, will all possible life saving measures in place, the babies starting having “fetal decelerations” meaning that their hearts were now showing signs of serious distress and the babies had to come out now if any of them were going to survive. My poor wife gave birth via c-section while in a coma at only 29 weeks gestation. Sadly, one of our sweet babies did not survive this, but my amazing wife and our strong baby girl, Journee, made it through the first part. Nothing was certain and no one knew if either would make it through the night. After 6 VERY LONG days and nights, my strong, beautiful and amazing wife WOKE UP on 11/26. She is so strong and so determined that she was able to be released from the hospital on 12/2, only 6 days after waking up! She was determined to get home to our other children before our son’s 7th birthday and Christmas! However, she is going through INTENSE physical therapy to be physically strong enough to walk, stand for longer periods of time, get her coordination back, etc.
At this point, we have been on a single income 4 months, and I have had to miss a lot of days between the hospital, the kids school, their doctor appointments, etc. We got an eviction notice and went to court to fight however we could. Obviously we are responsible for the rent or we lose our home, but the court ruled that due to the circumstances, late fees and interest and any other fees would be waived, so we only have to pay $5,000 of the 8,000 the landlord was asking for. Its getting cold as the winter sets in, and our little baby Jouree, who has fought so hard to come home, is set to be discharged in the next week. If we can’t come up with this money, we are going to be homeless, looking at a shelter with a newborn preemie and a mother who is still learning how to walk again, and as a man….I just can’t let this happen. I HATE to ask for help, but I’m here now, BEGGING for it. Please, Please help us!
