Life changing diagnosis

****Update****

My vehicle has now started to make a noise that I suspect is my timing chain. In the new engine I just had replaced THIS YEAR.

I drive for my job, all over Alberta. I really need a working vehicle, my little car needs a new transmission, it drives, but will stop working randomly. When it stops running, I have to go in the shoulder and restart the car. I can't do that with client in the car, I would lose my job for not having a reliable vehicle.

The estimate of my vehicle repairs:

Hello,

My name is Krit. Several years ago, my husband injured himself at work while lifting a heavy item and tore his bicep tendon. That was repaired in 2019. He was off work for a significant time until workers comp cut him off.

Last year, he started working again, and within a few weeks, he was hit in the head with a forklift.

He has since been seen by many doctors and specialists and received treatment. This treatment did not improve his brain injury symptoms. He just finished an 8-week program for brain injury in Edmonton. We haven't seen many improvements. We've actually seen a decline in his health.

He does not receive a lot from Workers Comp. I haven't been able to work much, as I have to attend most of his appointments because his memory is completely gone.

We have struggled to make it by, but we are at a point where we are very far behind on our bills. I've had our utility companies threaten us many times to cut us off. Rent is the only thing I've been able to consistently pay, as we don't have anywhere else to go.

I myself was hit by an SUV last year July as a pedestrian and have been dealing with the fallout from that. I was still at this point in grieving from my father passing in April.

Our combined medications and treatments equal to a lot. I personally haven't been to my physiotherapist in almost two and a half months, which has essentially led to many painful days and nights, and I have regressed in all my progress from those treatments. The woman's insurance, the one who hit me with her SUV, has been refusing to pay for my treatments, as he believes I should just be all better now. He wants to send me to his own privately funded doctor to say I'm all better, and he can officially cut off all support. I have gotten my lawyer involved.

We've also had other set backs, in February, my SUV needed a new engine, which took 2 months before it was installed due to financial issues.

I drive for work. There's a lot of money that goes into gas and maintenance. Driving also exasperates my injuries, but we have no options right now. I've been with my job for 8+ years and haven't received any follow-up from the hundreds and hundreds of jobs I've applied to within the whole province of Alberta.

I am really at a place where I can't ask people in my life for help anymore, as I've asked for help many times over the last year to help pay off minimums for our utilities, my car payments and rent.

Both my husband and I are dealing with a lot. Our whole lives were changed when he sustained his brain injury. This last year and a half has not been very good to us. If you could help us out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
