NEED HELP WITH BILLS- HUSBAND PASSED AWAY
Donation protected
I am creating this GoFundMe to get help with our bills for July and August. We just have to get through these two months till I get back to work.
My husband, Brian, is terminally ill with non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. After a recent hospitalization, he opted to have no further treatment and no more admissions to the hospitals. He does receive SSD, which is currently our only income after I suffered a freak accident at the beginning of June. While, I am happy to have the time to spend with my husband- we just can't financially afford me not to be working.
I am a behavior specialist and love my job. My daughter and I were refilling our pool. We were both down inside the pool, and I slipped, fell back, and hit the back of my head. I was knocked unconscious and suffered a seizure while knocked out (according to my daughter's description of the events). I went to my local ER the following day and was life-flighted to Pittsburgh with a brain bleed. After 6 days in the hospital, I am suffering from a severe concussion, which is preventing me from returning to work. I was released by one doctor, but the concussion doctor (neurologist and my PCP) have not released me to return. I have exhausted my PTO benefits and do not have Short Term Disability. If you know me, I do not ask for help. But we are in desperate need until I get back to work. I am hoping to be released in the middle of August when I have an appointment with both doctors.
We have 2 children: a 14-year-old daughter and a 20-year-old son who is in the military and college currently. Aside from medical insurance (I pay for through the State), we do not qualify for other assistance programs.
