Accident took my love and crippled me

Donation protected
Help me get back on my feet.
  I could never of imagined that the love of my life would be taken from me, by an auto accident. 
    She was my friend, my love and my soulmate! The airbags in our car didn't deploy, and she was killed instantly by the impact. When I came to our car was upside down and we were both sitting upright on the inside of the roof. I reached over and grabbed her arm which was warm. I was relived. People were yelling at me to not move, and then I guess I went unconscious. 
   When I woke up, I was in the hospital, with a broken neck and 40+ fractures of my upper body. I wasn't told about Libbie, my love until after I came out of surgery, and in the recovery room. 
  When I heard that, I wished I had died with her. I had never felt so lost. We were together 24/7 for all those wonderfully blessed years. I couldn't imagine living without her.
   I was told soon after surgery that the EMTs were amazed I was alive.
  I have a broken C1 vertebrae.So the doctors installed some hardware to hold me together. I have a titanium rod, with 5 anchors attached to 5 of my vertebrae. Along with 40+ fractures of my rib cage, and a broken right clavicle. 3 long painful months have gone past. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, in a neck brace. We lost our home, and I lost the love of my life. I can't work, and don't know if I'll be able to. I'm sure the Lord will let me know why, when the time is right.  Meanwhile the bills mount up even more.our savings is gone and the attorneys said it'll take a year or more. I don't have disability. I fell off a roof while working, 7 years ago.I broke my hip, arm and nose.They keep denying me. I. Promised Libbie I would take care of Mr.HubCapAbq. if something ever happened to her. Right now I can't. The homeless are camping in the driveway of the business and I can't do anything about it! The police haven't released our car, and my van got towed while I was in the hospital. 
That's why I'm asking for your help. My son had to quit his job to take care of me. My son and grandson are in danger of losing their house, . because of me! We're now 3 months behind on the mortgage..
  It's freezing out now and we're just about to have the electric and gas get shut off.
   God saved me for a reason..I just pray we can get a little help to make it for the next few months. I've always worked and this is hard to do. That is, asking for help. May the lord bless every one of you! 
Just an update. My physical therapist realized that 7 yrs. Ago when I broke my hip, my hips twisted to favor my rt. side. She's got me working to get them level and it's kicking my butt. I can barely stand now. She says it'll get better, but I can barely get out of bed. Ouch!
