Victim of Bad Luck! Help Needed!

Hello! My name is Chad. I'm 46 and living in Florida. On July 25th, 2025, I was struck while riding my bicycle by an SUV going approximately 40-50 m.p.h. I ended up in the windshield, and my bike was thrown across a very busy street. I was Med Flighted out. I don't remember anything but the initial hit of the SUV. I woke up in the hospital from a coma days later. I stayed in the hospital for a while until I was ready to leave. I had cranial surgery done. My right leg is broken. Also, the right leg includes a major blood clot. My left leg was faster. My right arm had a small blood clot. And there's no telling what the future problems are going to hold.

Now I am wheelchair-bound. I'm currently sleeping on a metal bench at a strip mall. I'm unable to work. It's hard to keep everything going when you have nothing. I'm just trying to make it to the next day.
