The Ypmas financial hardship

Donation protected
Hello! Jason and Krystal Ypma have been married 3 years, and have a 2 year old son named Lane, and a baby on the way. Recently Krystal has been a full time student finishing up her degree to be an Agriscience Teacher, however her pregnancy has prevented her from completing her courses due to severe Hyperemesis Gravidarum and having a picc line inserted for nausea medicine and nutrition. This prevents her from working since she is so sick. Jason is a disabled veteran who works with a bad back to provide for his family. Jason has been the main source of income lately, and loves his line of work. He is a class C lineman and works on power lines. On Monday Dec. 1, 2014 Jason suffered a traumatic injury while working on some high voltage power lines. Jason was electrocuted and had nearly 20,000 volts go through his body (19,900 volts to be exact). Luckily, God had his hands on him, and he survived when he shouldn't have.  He was thrown to the ground by the shock and was unconscious face down on the ground. Everyone thought he died. He was rushed to University hospital in an ambulance, and then transferred by ambulance to SAMMC burn unit ICU. He has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his chest, right shoulder and both feet. He has sore muscles through out his body, and severe pain from his burns, and possible brain damage from the electricity. He can't sleep or focus. The doctor said it could be a few weeks to a month minimum before his burns start to heal. He is home now thankfully. During this time, he is out from work and supposed to be on workmans comp, however his employer terminated him today (Friday dec 5) due to the accident and we are not sure now that workmans comp will approve to give him his weekly benefits for pay while he is out, much less his medical bills. In the mean time, Jason and Krystal have no source of income to pay their mortgage, car payment, electricity, and all other bills that they have each month while he is out of work due to his injury. They have a 2 year old son who they don't even know how they are going to give him anything for christmas.  Any prayers and monetary help is very much appreciated to help compensate their bills. Thank you and God bless!
