By trade Keith, my boyfriend, is a class A pipefitter. He was in a refinery explosion several yrs ago, wish caused PTSD. Despite him suffering from his condition, he still tried to work until Sept 20, 2024, when he was is a near fatal automobile accident. He will be in the healing process indefinitely as of right now. He suffer 7 broken ribs, his clavicle was broke in ½ on both sides, he has fractures to his spine, neck, and tail bone. He is required to wear a neck brace until further notice from the doctor. So, I had to become the breadwinner. I am a Self Employed Private Caregiver to families needing help with their elderly or disabled loved ones, so they don't have to be sent away.

Monday November 4, 2024

I was admitted into the hospital because I could not walk using my right hip. After 3 MRIs, an xray, and 2 day hospital stay it was determined I have a pelvic fracture and the muscle is detached from the bone in the area of my hip/groin. 

I am now, also unable to work until surgery is completely ruled out and I'm able to return to walking without using a walker. I will be having physical therapy twice a week from home until then.

Now just because, Keith nor I can work until we are released and are not at risk for further injury, the bills do stop coming, our food doesn't magically reproduce, and everyday needs don't take care of themselves. We both have been doing our parts, applying for what assistance we can, but have been told help could take up to 6 or 8 months. I am able to get a little help through one of the local food banks, but so far that's it. We both have full intentions of trying to heal as fast as possible, in order to return to full time employmen , even if it means career changes. 

If anyone reading this can help in anyway, we would be so thankful ❤

We do ask though, if you do want to help and really can't afford it, please don't take away from your own family. If you still feel as though you really just need to, because it's on your heart to do so, then even one penny is helping and will be very much appreciated. 

I will do my best to keep things updated as each day progresses forward. 

Much Love and Blessings to you All ❤
