I am a 31 year old married woman with an eleven year old daughter. On May 18, 2007 at 3:30 pm our lives changed forever. My husband fell approx. 12 feet. He fractured his skull in 3 places, broke his sternum, broke 2 right ribs, he had pulmonary contusions, and he broke his back at T-10. Upon arriving at the hospital I was told there was little hope. They air evaced him 2 hours away to a trauma center. He did survive, however things are very different. He is now a parapalegic. We went through so much, it was nearly a month before he knew who I was! He was released July 17, 2007. We came home to no money and a pile of bills. As hard as it is just caring for him all alone, the worst part is the financial burden. We both worked and we did not recieve public assistance. I can't pay whats due much less catch up what wasn't paid while he was in the hospital. I'm so afraid. I have to catherize my husband every 4-6 hours to drain his bladder, do digital stimulation on his bowels, bathe, and dress him, do range of motion excersizes, etc. He is totally dependent on me. I do all this ALONE. I don't mind so much because I love him and he'd do the same for me. We live in a trailer, not ran down but old, nearly 12 to be exact. I've always been one to spruce things up on a budget and I am quite the neat freak, I owe over $20,000 on it. It was to be our starter home. Our plan was to stay here and get it paid for in 6 years then get a house. We live in a mobile home community on a rented lot, I've been unable to pay the rent. We bought a used vehicle in Feb. & I can't pay the note on it, it's in need of repair. Little things I always took for granted like laundry detergent and bath soap are hard to come by. I feel so alone and embarrassed. What am I to do?? We need help bad and fast! I am sharing my story with you in hopes that someone will help us. Thank you & God Bless!
