Rehabilitation & Financial Struggle for Crackers

Donation protected
Hello, I am fundraising on behalf of my father Steve "Crackers" Craker. After 11 years of being unemployed, he was finally given a job offer doing yard maintenance, grounds keeping and driving buses for a Disability Charity. However on the 21st of October he was conducting a quote for his new client and throughout the inspection he was bitten by a White Tail Spider. Few days later the necrosis started to take over and the infection of the spider started to take action. Because of the fact he wasn't able to even walk, his job opportunities were taken away. He has currently spent 3 weeks in hospital and had undergone 9 surgeries. The surgeons worked on his left leg everyday on and off and after 8 unsuccessful surgeries he was scheduled to have the left leg amputated.

My dad was absolutely over the moon, words basically can not describe how excited he was to start a new job especially after 11 years of just waiting for the an opportunity and to have gone through absolute hell, it is killing me to watch my dear loved one go from being the happiest I've seen to having his entire world turned upside down.

He is now currently trying to heal and get better, however knowing that he has lost his job opportunities has completely broken his heart and it's extremely hard to watch. My dad is the strongest man I've ever met however this also means he doesn't like to ask for help or very rarely allows anyone to see him sad. He is a very proud man, he would do anything and everything for the ones he loves and I just want to make him smile again and make sure he knows we will do whatever it takes to be a strong family. Any and all help or donations would be unbelievably appreciated as it would help to take care of medical expenses, adjustments to our home and getting him back on his feet.
