Father daughter car crash victims

Donation protected
Hello my name is Kim and I am fundraising to help take care of my son and granddaughter who had a life altering car crash. I received a phone call on March 24, 2023 from a friend who had come upon my sons car wrecked, wrapped almost around a tree, and was surrounded by multiple ambulances. My son was unconscious and my granddaughter was awake and scared. My friend assured my granddaughter that her "nana" would be at the hospital to be with her. I immediately rushed to the hospital where they had no information on them. I think I actually beat the ambulance there. The wait was horrifying not knowing how they were. Finally I got to go back to see my granddaughter who was crying and in pain. She is 8 years old and had broke both legs. She broke her femur bone in one and a tibia fibula in the other with four breaks in her right foot. She had lacerations to her face and her front bottom teeth were knocked out. About an hour later I finally learned that my son was in ICU sedated with a brain bleed, fractured skull and neck, along with a broken hip, broken arm, broken nose, broken ribs, and had face lacerations as well. He was unrecognizable. He eventually had hip, arm and shoulder, and nose surgery. Neither of them can walk for atleast 4 weeks. My life was turned upside down in seconds. What was I going to do? I knew I had to be beside my granddaughter at all times. Her dad (my son) is a single parent and he was In ICU so there was no way he could be there with her. Several days later I brought my baby girl home and tried to adjust to our new life. The challenges we faced seemed impossible. Eventually my son got to come home but I had no idea what was ahead of us. I had to take a leave of absence from work without pay. I went from working a full time job and raising my other granddaughter, who I have had for 16 years, to being a care giver at home. We are now into the second month and I've went through what little savings I had to pay bills and to provide. I am asking for help. If you could please help in any way, I would be beyond grateful.
