Help with C section complication recovery expenses

Donation protected
Hi my name is ashmere and I have been having a rough few months, I was hospitalized around 8 months pregnant on November 14th due to preeclampsia complications and had my c section on Dec 6th. I was dealing with severe edema on my stomach but released from the hospital Dec 10th where I went to our new apartment that ended up not working out, it was in pretty bad condition and flooded from both restrooms the night I came home which ended up displacing me, my husband and our 3 children. We spent the last week or so staying on in laws couches while we looked for a new place to live and unfortunately my health declined pretty quickly. I ended up back in the ER on the 15th where they found the infection in my abdomen but they misjudged how bad my condition was and I was sent home on antibiotics, I quickly started going down hill to the point that my incision site opened up and I started draining what they originally believed was the edema fluid I had in my abdomen. It got pretty bad I had a massive hole in my incision site and necrotic tissue on my stomach I was seen by a wound surgeon on Dec 22nd who happened to come and assess me during a visit to just clean and pack the wounds but she wasn't comfortable with me going home in my condition and had me rushed to the ER to do another scan where they found that the wound went all the way down to almost my organ cavity and the liquid draining wasn't just water it was infected puss rotting in my body, I was in complete septic shock at that point and came very close to losing my life. They had to immediately rush me to another hospital that night with an available surgical room and team where they had to cut out portions of my abdominal tissue and clean out as much of the infection from my body. I am currently in the hospital not able to see my twins or newborn because I will be having at least 3 more surgeries in the next 3 weeks or so to cut more bad tissue out, clean up the massive wound I have in my c section site and make sure the infection doesn't happen again. Unfortunately while all this is happening my husband cannot return to work till further notice he has also used all of his paid time off and now has to find us a new home while taking care of our 6 year old twins, me and our newborn. We've been going through our savings quickly because of all the extra expenses we had when we moved into and immediately moved out of the apt that flooded over and now on top of that we still have expenses for my health, the kids Basic needs like food and the baby who now needs formula because I cannot breast feed due to how many antibiotics and pain medication i have in my system. (We do not qualify for things like EBT or WIC) We are also forced to spend hundreds of extra funds from our home deposit savings just applying for places to live and will end up paying another set of deposits and moving fees when we do find something. I normally don't like asking for help like this I never have but we're really in need of a miracle at this point my husband and I are absolutely exhausted and losing hope so any way anyone can help out is greatly appreciated. Much love to you all!
**UPDATE 12/29/23**
Yesterday 12/28 I had my 3rd surgery where they found more infection so they had to clean and cut out more portions of my abdomen, because of this they cannot sew my wound up so its being left with just the vacume dressing it's had since day one. I will be having my 4th surgery on Sunday and from there the surgeons will have a better idea on their next course of action. On a better note my husband Dillon was able to find us a home and is working hard this week to move us in, the deposits and everything we needed to get the place pretty much wiped us out financially but I am extremely grateful that when I do leave the hospital I'll have a home to go to. Big thank you to anyone that is donating, sharing and commenting on our GFM posts my family is forever grateful we love you all!
