Stuck in Hospital - Need Help Please!

Donation protected
This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever done, and I do it very reluctantly. As many of you will be aware, I permanently lost the use of my left arm last year due to a serious shoulder fracture that could not be repaired, even after several surgeries. I have now fractured my left ankle in three places (in a simple fall from missing an obscured step). I've had surgery in Wangaratta, and have been in hospital in Beechworth for 10 days as I can't be discharged home. This is because my current home (rented) is not wheelchair accessible, and can't be modified. I can't be discharged from hospital before the six-week mark (or later) until I secure wheelchair-friendly accommodation. I need help in raising rental bond and removal costs. I will make use of any and all public health, community health and charity resources available to me, but these are limited. I just want to get a place (I will be able to access subsidised home-help), get out of hospital, and re-establish myself and the kids somewhere accessible and managable. I am totally non-weight bearing for six weeks, then will go through a slow process of rehabilitation. Due to my osteopenia, I have to be extremely cautious so not to shatter the whole ankle permanently (as occurred with the shoulder). I have set my goal as $1, as anything will help, I have no expectations. I am very nervous about posting this GoFundMe link on Facebook, and have excluded several people (who are themselves in hardship or who are looking after my children), so if you reply, please do keep it on this thread or via PM (and probably don't share the page, even though I know your intentions would be good!). And please, if you are in a tight financial position yourself, no money - prayers or thoughts to the God(s) / deities / universes or athiest equivalents of your choosing will more than suffice!
