Save Eric & Kat's home

WE desperately need help to prevent our home from going into Foreclosure....we need to keep the roof overhead because of my husband's medical conditions ....my husband is disabled and is chronically ill....In May of 2006 my Husband had unexpected Liver Failure which resulted in a Liver Transplant a month later......The surgery did not go well.....we were at UCLA Medical Center for the next 99 days dealing with complaications which ranged from a punctured asphogus which took away his ability to eat solid food (tube feeding).....Kidney Failure .....osteoporosis......infections and chronic Chrohns ......he was re-admitted five more times to UCLA hospital that first year alone......Over the next ten years everything was a challenge.....breaking bones from repeated falls.....losing all his teeth from from medications and osteoporosis......uncontrollable diarrhea from Chrohns....more surgeries.....osteoarthritis in both knees and removal of the Colon permanently to stop the diarrhea .....only one partially functioning Kidney with stage five kidney disease......And finally getting fired from his one and only job of 35 years.......We have exhausted our 401k's trying to stay afloat....using most of what we had on Cobra payments..... and now we have been selling anything of value to stay in our home. I started small stay at home based Etsy business  while Eric was recovering after a surgery........I looked  at what we had in the house and started cannibalizing things we owned for materials .......I work seven days a week making products to sell so we have money for food......Eric is getting disability but it is not enough........Eric was used to working physically everyday....he had a background in scenic carpentry from the theatre department at a local theme park .....We met while working on a Halloween Event there .....I was a painter...... I had a full career as a muralist and decorator.....We are both skilled in our fields and have made amazing things with our hands from sets....props.....art.....jewelry and more....So I am grateful that I was able to have a skill to make things to sell but it is just not enough to cover everything...... Within each day there are so many tasks ....phone calls to doctors..... so many medical issues.....I became his caregiver and advocate since his Liver transplant and it just does not stop.......I need to keep him well and safe  but everything is behind and I am terrified now........Medical Co-pays have not been paid....the mortgage is behind....... The Mortgage is the  most important because we don't have anywhere to go if we don't have this condo......I try to provide for him but when even one things goes wrong such as car repairs we start to get behind....Neither of us have a credit card to fall back on.......I am so overwhelmed and we do not have a circle of support to lean on......I reach out to people we used to know but they don't call back.....I understand it but it has created this deep loneliness and isolation......I have done my best considering I did not have a medical background to care for him....I learned how to dress wounds.....give shots.....dose meds.....and deal with doctors and insurance......I am a different person since this journey with him.....Eric inspires me still...I wish we weren't so isolated alone but we are.....illness has a way of isolating and people pull away........Eric doesn't seem to fully understand how vastly alone we are or that things are falling apart....he has never lost his temper during any of this ....he has never complained about how his life changed........Eric also has Aspergers and within this constant battle of dealing with doctors treatments and insurance he remains silent....I am his voice.........We have had to create a new life in this chaos .....Somehow we started to reinvent ourselves in our midfifties........with not much of anything but a few good ideas.....using the skills we have.... I have been trying my best to take what we can make and create a business where he can work on small art items with me.......the first pieces of jewelry I made for our Etsy store were created from my own jewelry that I tore apart and cannibalized for materials.......selling my clothes and shoes for art supplies.....to create a buisness......I know we can become stable through my small buisness and maybe get a roommate but we can't get a roommate unless the house payments are stable.....so there is a plan in there that can work.....please visit our Etsy store  https://www.etsy.com/shop/KathrynWhiteWolfArt ....Our first sale was in March of 2016 and as of Aug 1st  we are at 176 sales......but in May we were hit with another medical emergency.....Eric fell....broke his hip and had surgery and that was the beginning of a downward spiral that has brought us to where we are now.....Our home is about to go into Foreclosure......We now need $6000 more to keep our home from starting Foreclosure and about $1500 in un paid HOA fees to stop a Lein on the property ......We would use about another $1200 to update his shower with safety rails and smooth transition flooring.....We cannot afford dental work and I would love for Eric to get to the dentist....I don't think we will be able to get teeth made because  he is high risk because of his transplant but he needs treatment of some sort since he has broken bits of teeth roots in his mouth.....I would also use about $2000 to invest fully into our home based business and be able to take it to another level.....please visit our Etsy Store and read our shop reviews......my customers love me and I love them.....With just $2000 our business can grow and we could become stable....Someone needs to invest in us......I believe in us.....but right now I feel so desperate and sacred....I feel everyday I scream but no one is listening...I don't know how we became so alone but we are ... .I don't want to give up and resign ourselves to live out of the car or street and I think 'is this how people end up living on the streets? they reach out but no one is there?'.....soooo this is me reaching out and hoping...praying that someone will listen....I understand why most people can't help....everyone is struggling....I understand that you are afraid if you help then you might have to give up a vacation....but you don't have to donate large....little amounts matter so very much.....no amount is too small......I want to believe we can have a sustainable and productive life where we contribute to the community thru creating......Eric has never complained about his life ever.....even when he was fired from his employment and we became isolated in a world of illness he would get up to the beginning of a new day.... walk the dog and be ever present in that moment never dwelling on the past....not me I have been in such a horrible....lost place with a broken heart........I am terrified of becoming homeless and living in the car or streets..  I want to try everything before that happens including asking for help.........I love our home.... it is modest and perfect for this stage in our life.......About 1200 square feet of just enough magic ......a single level condo.....perfect for the two of us and our pup.......We have $1700 a month mortgage payment that is manageable once we are caught up.....we just need to catch up......If we lose our home we do not have the means to go somewhere else......we will be homeless on the street...... With the $11000 our home will be saved and we can have a new beginning.......I don't know what else to do but this.....At one point we were almost caught up but then the one car we have  needed repairs so from there we got behind again.....Right now I am in the process of selling everything but unfortunately I don't have anything of value ...please help if you can....any amount.. .....Pray for us.....and please share this campaign.... .Thank You so much for taking the time to read this.....
Blessed Be....
