Unexpected Medical accident. Need help while unemployed.

Please Help Our Family Through This Crisis

Our family is facing an overwhelming and unexpected hardship, and we’re reaching out for help because we simply have nowhere else to turn.

A few weeks ago, my husband had an accident and broke his hand. He is the main provider for our family, and because his job has too few employees, they don’t offer health insurance. Every doctor visit, medication, and medical bill is fully out of pocket—and it adds up fast.

At the same time, I started a new work-from-home job so I could care for our 4-year-old autistic grandson and our 13-year-old son. But the contract I was hired for ended unexpectedly while I was still in training, leaving me without a job before I even started. Now, we are both out of work with no income at all.

We had two incomes one week… and none the next.

Everything Is Piling Up

Our basic monthly expenses feel impossible right now:
   •   Rent: $1,300
   •   Power: $220
   •   Internet: $100
   •   Car payment: $750
   •   Insurance: $300+
   •   Medications: $200+
   •   Gas, groceries, essentials

On top of that, my husband’s surgery cost thousands of dollars, and every orthopedic appointment requires $250 upfront just for him to be seen.

We applied for every program—cash help, Medicaid, food stamps. We were denied everything except food stamps, and even those were reduced this month because of one paycheck he received earlier.

And Christmas… We Have Nothing

This is the part that breaks us.

Christmas is around the corner, and we don’t even have a tree. We can’t buy a single gift for our son or grandson. They don’t understand why things are so tight, and it hurts to know we can’t give them the holiday they deserve.

Why We’re Asking

We’re humble, hardworking people. Asking for help is embarrassing and painful. But right now, we are drowning. My husband can’t work for 6–8 weeks, and my job ended before it even began. We are trying our best to stay strong for our kids, but we cannot do this alone.

If you can help—even a few dollars—it would make a real difference. It would help us keep the lights on, cover medical costs, put gas in the car, and maybe give our boys a small Christmas.

Even sharing this means more than you know.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading, sharing, and caring. Your kindness means everything to us right now.
