Reddit, I am here to humbly ask for empathy and support for my family. We have hit financial rock bottom, living month to month, debt looming. Our emergency fund of $60k from 2019 is gone between the havoc that COVID wreaked on our earnings, to a series of trials and tribulations culminating in this most recent medical trauma. On March 15th I went up to our roof to try to reinstall the tarp that keeps our house dry in the rain. Strong winds had pulled it down the day before and 1.3” of rain was in the forecast for the 16th. Instead of solving the problem I created a new one. I fell 25+ feet and broke my Tibia, Wrist, and Pelvis. I am blessed to be alive as many high ladder falls result in paralysis or death. My family is now trying to survive off a far reduced monthly income with no backup funds to supplement. I have pursued all other potential assistance and this is a last resort. We have leaned on family and friends. I have been approved for disability. I tried to get food stamps. DTA somehow only approved SNAP for my family of 5+(wifey is pregnant and due in July) for $43/month despite a housing expense of $3500/month and income from disability of $4000/month. Disability provides $1000/week. Family and friends have been the bulk of donations to our GoFundMe thus far. Now I come to the greater community, hat in hand. Please help us get through this brutally difficult stretch intact and help our kids avoid the destabilizing possibilities that might arise if we are unable to fix our roof and make our home livable and affordable moving forward through this recovery period. Thank you very much for your attention.
