Recent amputee with young children needs help

Donation protected
Tragedy struck our family last month.  As a result of blood clots and infection, Jim's lower right leg had to be amputated at the end of April.  Not only is this emotionally devastating for the family, but there is substantial financial stress involved too.  Jim has mounting medical bills relating to the medi-flight from Calumet to Wausau, hospital stays, surgery, etc. but also loss of income since Jim can no longer work.  Jim has worked all his life at jobs that were very physical, such as firefighter, EMT, Sheriff's Deputy, Hazmat, and most recently, as a baker, and manual labor.  Even with a prosthesis sometime in the future, it is questionable if Jim will be able to find work to help support the family.


Additionally, they have four children under the age of 18 still living at home, with the youngest being 7 years old.  Diana's income (Jim's wife) is the only income they have left and it is not enough to cover household expenses.  This is quite a burden on her and the family doesn't  know where to turn to.   Also, their house is not set up to facilitate someone with this type of disability and will need substantial modifications made to accomodate Jim and allow him to be as independent as possible.


Any help you can give this family would be so helpful. 

Thank you.
