Our wave crashed

After fifteen plus years of working auto-shows across the country.  I decided to stop travelling for work August 6th of last year.  For many reasons just to name a few, time away from kids, scheduling, if something happened when I was away...and the list of worry goes on and on.  So I went into the delivery business and really enjoy driving;  time behind the wheel is time well spent.  Most recently I was driving for a Ford Dealership delivering automotive parts.  Yesterday I sprained my lumbar, L5 S1 right where I had my back surgery in 2011.  After seeing the doctor they put me on light duty (I will post photos in the comments section).  The dealership does not have any light duty work for me so they sent me home.  I filed my workman's compensation claim, that takes time and the pay is very little.  When I went to pick up the kids today we got a flat tire on the way home.  So I had to wrench my back even more changing the tire.  Laid up and in a lot of pain at the moment.  Without family support single parenting is so hard.  I can't move at the moment due to my lower back sprain.  I'm now looking for a new career, something not so physical.  My spine situation is getting worse and worse.  I don't want my story to sound like a pity story, but if anybody can throw in a couple of buffalo nickels... to help us out in a time of need we would be happy to send you some artwork for your donation.  It will be a mystery piece, portrait, Sweet Sweet Skateboards backpack, stickers...  Nonetheless you won't go empty handed if you donate to our cause.  Trying to get back up from some serious nerve compression back pain. I'm not trying to say that my problems have anything to do with you or that it's your responsibility; I'm just trying to get back on my feet and out from under this back pain and back to work.  Any donations will be very much appreciated. It will be going towards groceries, a couple bills, and of course our tires.  This will really help us get going again.  In the meantime I will be resting my back and hoping to get back up as soon as I can.  It does not have anything to do with my birthday, that's just coincidence.  Thank you for taking the time to read this if you do and even more if you donate and I'll get right to work on an art piece for you.
