In the last couple of months my wife, Emily, fell and tore her meniscus in her knee, then we found out that our landlord has to sell our house and we must move. We thought we could handle it, but our health insurance only covers a fraction of the cost of surgery, and we have to come up with over $1000 just for the doctor and surgery center. This puts our ability to move into someplace safe for our 7 year old daughter in grave jeopardy, so I have had to swallow my pride and come to you...
