Just days before our lives changed forever, everything was normal. My wife and I were teachers, leading a simple but fulfilling life. Our daughter had just enrolled in her master’s program, excited for her first day. We had stable jobs, a home filled with love, and dreams for the future. Then, in an instant, everything was ripped away.
I Can’t Properly Walk And My Wife Has Multiple Injuries
It happened on our balcony. A short circuit in a nearby transformer sent a powerful electric shock through the railing. The moment my wife touched it, she was struck by 1100 volts. I tried to pull her away, but the current surged through me too. By the time it was over, our lives were unrecognizable. My wife suffered such severe injuries that both of her hands had to be amputated. Her head, back, and chest were also damaged. I lost the use of my right hand, and my left leg barely functions.
She Is Completely Depended On Others For Everything
My wife has lost all independence. She cannot eat, dress, or even scratch an itch without help. The simplest actions—holding a glass of water, combing her hair, or wiping her tears—are impossible. She relies on someone for everything, every single moment of the day. The physical pain is unbearable, but the emotional toll is even worse. She was once a strong, capable woman who cared for our home and family. Now, she feels trapped in her own body.
This Transplant Can Make All The Difference In Her Life
We recently learned about a possible hand transplant—a rare but life-changing procedure. It would take time, money, and effort, but if successful, she could regain the ability to do everyday tasks again. She could hold a spoon, write, and care for herself. This transplant wouldn’t just give her hands—it would give her back her dignity, her independence, and a chance to live again. But we cannot afford it.
We Both Lost Our Jobs And Our Savings Have Dwindled
Our savings disappeared within months—medical bills, surgeries, and our daughter’s education drained everything. Even in our worst moments, we made sure she didn’t have to leave her studies. She completed her master’s degree, but her dream of pursuing a B.Ed. and Ph.D. had to be put on hold. Instead of focusing on her ambitions, she was forced to become our provider.
My Daughter Has Been Forced To Take Care Of Us
I feel unbearable guilt. We always protected her, never letting her lift a spoon, and now she carries the weight of our entire lives. At just 23, she is working to pay for our hospital bills, medications, and daily expenses—all while trying to hold on to the dreams we once promised her.
We Can’t Do This Alone Anymore
This transplant could change everything for my wife. It could restore her independence and lift some of the burden off our daughter. But without help, it’s impossible. Please help in any way you can—every contribution makes a huge difference.
