Support Needed During Recovery Time

Hey everyone, I've been working hard to build myself a good reputation around here since moving back and have been taking work everywhere i can. I took this job out of town for 3 days and managed to sprain the heck out of my ankle right after lunch on the 1st day. Since I'm an "independent contactor" I'm not sure if i qualify for workman's comp and am having a hard time figuring how I'm going to keep my bills paid and fridge stocked. I've got at least 4 weeks of recovery left and could use all the help i can get to get through this challenging chapter I find myself in. Anything helps and know that your generosity will not be forgotten in this time of need.
