Help me live my remaining years w/quality of life

I'm the wife of this brave fighter who served in the U.S. Navy back in the mid 80s.  He loved what he did and especially our country.  A night came where he and his fellow soldiers came into heavy fighting.  He suffered a severely injured above knee that after several attempts to save it had ended, amputation was performed due ti severe infection. His right elbow had to be rebuilt and became immobile.   His left hip was attached with a rod connecting his femur bone to his hip.  I met Scott probably 7 years after the injury.  You'd think he;d be shy or timid, but he was the exact opposite.  We went to a movie the next night and he cracked me up.   He made fun of every thing you could think of.  That was 1987 and we are married now.  It's been 28 years filled with laughter, arguing, apologizing, and also being stubborn.  We have hit a wall of financial hardship.  Our house has taken a beating.  Scott developed a brain tumor in 2014 witch changed his personality from happy to beat down and tired of the fight.  He's had several surgeries on his amputated limb only to make the pain worse. with every surgery he asks God to please take him.  We are behind on several bills and I don't want to lose our home.  I ask with deep humility if you coul help us take some of th financial burden.  I'm so tired of the fight to pay the next bill.  I know some have their own financial hardship. A kind thought or prayer for us would also mean the world.  Thank you for listening to me. I'm a complete stranger, but maybe we are similiar in more ways than we know.
