<prompt> Human: Hi PF. Long time listener, first time caller. Got into a bit of a pickle, here.My husband survived a suicide attempt. His neck was broken but surgeons were able to save him. We are, above all things, most thankful for this.To make a very long and very complicated story short, he was laid off shortly before this, cutting our income in half. I make about 35k, by myself. We have few bills thanks to a big push to clear our credit card debt. Currently we have a car payment, insurance, rent, utilities and daily needs to cover. Its tight but my salary covers it, month to month.My problem is doctors arent sure hell ever be back to 100 again and he is currently unable to do as much as pick up his 12 month old daughter, so he cant even do the SAHD thing, alone. We have been paying babysitters or begging help of our parents when they are able, which isnt often. He is also quite depressed over the situation, despite feeling, in general, better about life in general. Naturally, ongoing medical and therapy bills are a thing.Were currently at 4000 in medical bills we have a PPO through my work and I am wondering what my best options are. My max out of pocket is 5,000.I have never had thought we may be able to get disability, but I dont even know where to begin on that. If my husband will qualify, etc. Currently, he doesnt think hell ever get back into the work he used to do again construction, home building, etc. I am thinking I would like to get a better paying job, so I have started searching for that... its hard in this area, so I am also trying to pick up freelance as I can, while, basically, being a single parent. My current job is great as they have been understanding when we cant find coverage, even letting my daughter come to work with me a needed. Not just any job I interview with will have such a perk, but still I am looking.We have also contacted the hospital about financial assistance, but we dont seem to qualify with my income. Plus we had insurance which paid for a lot already. We have some savings, but its only in the 2500 range. I suppose I could put some of that towards the medical bill, but as I said, the husband will likely need ongoing care, well after this year.Again, this hit us out of nowhere. Appreciate any advice on organizing a plan to tackle this situation. Thanks, all!  <response>: Dont really have any financial advice, I just want to say that I hope you all manage to get out of this situation, and I admire your courage to seek help instead of giving up!
