Family needs after Spine Injury

Donation protected
Hello, my name is D. Greene. I usually don't do this or ask anyone for help for that matter and my pride as a man has kept me from doing a lot of things. So I felt it best to sit my pride aside because this is about the well being of my family and not the amount of pride I carry and we are in need. On 6/26 my 8 year old son wanted to go to the trampoline park for his birthday. We decided to take him so that he could enjoy his day. 5 mins into jumping I had an accident. I landed wrong which caused me to fold and in doing so I sustained a burst fracture to L2 and L3 of my spine. Surgery was supposed to follow immediately after the injury, but because of how well I am doing, the nerosurgeon want to see if I heal correctly with just a brace. I am the sole provider of my 8 person family due to a back injury my wife sustained about 2 yrs ago at work. To start, I will be out of work for 8 to 10 weeks and my long term or short term insurance isnt due to kick in until next year, but because of the situation I am unsure as to what will come out of this. This injury happened at the worst time. I recently started driving for this company about 90 days ago and 5 days before my 90 probationary period ending this injury happened. I am really unsure what will happen with this job because we are an at will employment state and the injury happened away from work. Im not guarenteed a job and me finding another job with a back injury seems far fetched at the moment. Im only asking for help to cover our expenses and my medical expenses for the remainder of the year as that will give me time to heal and sort through things clearly by then. Any help would be greatly appreciated and wisdom in situations like this is more precious than silver and gold.
Thank You to anyone who decides to help in advance.
Grace and Peace
