Help my family keep our home

Donation protected
Update: 1/24/24

In my most recent appointment with the specialist, he stated he doesn't believe I'll get full flexibility in my fingers back for years, if ever. Likely, at some point I may require surgery to get artificial joints put in. The friction burns and lacerations healed better than expected but the damage from my fingers being crushed is what we're fighting now.

My name is Catherine and in October, I was involved in a horrible work place accident. The accident has caused me excessive pain and affected my ability to perform daily tasks or commute into work. Worker's compensation denied my claim for continuation of pay on the premise that there is work I can do, even though I cannot commute to work without incurring significant costs ($50 one way for Uber/Lyft if I can even find a driver available in my area). This came after my wife had her hours at her job reduced by over 40%. We've taken out loans and even cashed out retirement accounts trying to make ends meet but it's no longer enough and we're now facing eviction. We cannot afford the rent on a similar property or even some smaller ones. While the option to move in with family is available, it would require giving up both our jobs and seeking employment in another state at a much lower salary.

Please, help us keep our home and our livelihoods. I am recovering from my injury but we need a temporary reprieve to get by
