  1. You can contact local churches and organizations as well as your local community based services office who can also tell you of the various programs that are also offered in your area.  I hope that things improve for you two.


  2. Wow, you guys certainly have had a rough few weeks!

    I would start looking at your stuff. TV's, jewelry, valubles to sell. I know it sux, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.. (been there before)

    Short of that, maybe parents could help some, too. Freinds, too? I know if that happened to us, people would most likely be offering to help with something. A title loan on a paid vehicle could be another option.. i really wish you guys the best, and sorry for your tough luck..

  3. does florida have state disability insurance?  i know its not as much as your paycheck but its something.

  4. Talk with the hospitals social worker.

  5. Is your husband recieving any home health care? If so, you could ask for referrals from the home health agency. Also, make sure to claim loss of wages with the insurance company that covers his accident.

    Try calling the Broward County "First Call for Help" referral line. You can dial 2-1-1 or call (954) 537-0211. There are several agencies that assist people with short term emergency needs like you describe. The Salvation Army offers an emergency assistance program that may be able to help you along.

    Good luck to you both!

  6. Maybe sell some of your belongings, what is the point of having some belongings if you cant use them... Sorry about the REALLY bad luck, hope ya both get out of it very soon.

    Goodluck = (
