Single Mother Fighting To Save Life And Home

Donation protected
I am a single mother of two living in Austin, TX.  I recently suffered a ruptured appendix that turned into peritonitis. Due to gross negligence from the hospital, I turned septic and almost died and have required 5 subsequent surgeries to save my life. Due to severe surgical complications, I have now developed a gastrointestinal fistula which leaks stomach bile and fecal matter into my open abdominal wound. I now have to be fed intravenously and will never be completely normal again. It will be years before I'm well enough to resume work. I have applied for every available resource in Travis County only to be turned away with "thoughts and prayers".  My only source of income will end December 26th, the day after Christmas, since the stimulus failed to pass. This has ruined my life and my children's life. I have lost my income, my ability to work, and I will lose my home after February 1st. I will soon have to send my children 9 hours away to stay with family. This is extremely traumatic to my children because we have never been apart. I hope to be able to be released from the hospital with home health to be with my children but I can't do that if I don't have a home any longer. I have ran out of savings and now I struggle just to provide food and basic necessities. I'm desperate to save my home and my family. Any help is greatly appreciated.
