Help Daniel's family off the street

Donation protected

Two years ago, We had to make a huge decision. Open up our problems to the world and ask for help. We were in desperate times due to being laid off from work and homelessness.  With your help,  we got off the streets and had an apartment . I had a good job, and everything was looking good. Until January that is. I slipped in the snow and ice on my way to work, and injured my back badly. I still went to work and fell again. Since then, I have been working hard just trying to keep myself from reimbursing my back, but I still needed to work.  I kept getting worse, and found that I had a cyst in my spine digging at my nerves. The pain of the cyst was  one thing,  the nerve damage done, was crippling.  I have had to take 4 out of 5 months off from work because I couldn't walk. I could barely stand. Yea, everything was going good for a while, and then it turned on me.
We lost our apartment, lost our car, lost my job. 
Everything we have went to storage.  I used up the last of my money to pay it 2 months ago. Last month, we had help from family to pay it, but this month, there is nothing.  I am at about 70 % healed now, but still have really bad days.
Getting a job is proving difficult, and Social Security can take years.  We need help pa hiding the storage so we do nor lose recruiting please.
We are in the Homeless shelter in Midvale now and have no place for all of our belongings.
I hate asking for help. I have always been able to find a way.
Once, I walked from El Paso, TX to Albuquerque, NM just to find work.  I have always found solutions to my problems.  But since my health started to crumble, I have found that no matter how much I push, solutions are not there.
Being homeless sucks, but it's worse when you have a family that depends on you,  and you can't provide for them because of your physical limitations.  Nothing is more depressing, Than finding yourself in the position of inability to work, desire to do so, and young children who ask Daddy, why do we have to live here?  Why did I lose all my stuff ?  Why?
Please, We only need 250 for the storage fees, and hopefully, I can find a job this month.. Thank you
