Tragic accident for father of 9

Donation protected
We are a Deaf family, with 6 of 9 children still residing at home. We are seeking prayer at this difficult time. My husband had a tragic accident on November 21, 2021 and was life flighted to a St Louis hospital where he has undergone multiple surgeries. The doctors are shocked he survived this horrific accident, and that his skull is intact. There have been multiple surgeries and blood transfusions. At this time, we are uncertain with the effects of his injuries and the long-term recovery process.
 
While cutting down a tree, a large trunk/branch of the tree broke off and hit his left side, beginning with his head which resulted in scalping, severe left eye injury (Doctors are fighting to save), in addition to neck and spinal injuries. 3 of our children witnessed the horrific accident.
 
I am a stay-at-home mother raising our children, and my husband is the sole financial provider, supporting our family. At this time, we will need financial contributions for medical expenses, and if you are led to give, contributions towards my children during this holiday season.
 
I am at my husband’s side daily, and my oldest son is caring for my 6 children at home. I am overwhelmed with worry for my husband, children especially for the 3 that witnessed the accident. I am trying to be strong for my husband and children and at times this can be hard.
 
We don’t know how we are going to survive financially at this time. There will be enormous out of pocket expenses that insurance does not cover. We are humbled in asking for these financial contributions. We will appreciate any amount your heart leads you to give. We thank each of you and everyone.
