To say this has been a trying year would be an understatement. I fell the end of January and broke my neck. I came out of the first surgery completely paralyzed from the neck down. I had an emergency second surgery and regained some function but not much. I still require full assistance for daily living and need 24hr care.

 I was in the hospital for an extended stay, then was transferred to a nursing home. I am now home with home health. While I was in the hospital my husband lost his job. He is now getting paid to be my PCA but it doesn't pay much and is only 12 hours a week. He is now the only driver in the house. So between my appointments and needing 24 hr care he is unable to work outside the home at the moment.

I usually use our taxes to buy school clothes and supplies.This year it all went towards needed medical equipment. My boys are on meds that make them gain weight and they have outgrown everything. With their clothing needs and supplies it is financing overwhelming as I am barely keeping rent and utilities paid.

I am attaching a small Amazon wishlist of the calculators the school requires and the backpacks the boys asked for( but any will do these are just their wants). I am just gonna include the rest of the supply list below as most of theses items are cheaper elsewhere. I have one in middle school and two in high school.

Clothing for the boys is our biggest need but any help at all big or small will be very greatly appreciated.We will galdly accept gently used clothes or backpacks.

We live in a small town that doesn't offer back to school help with supplies. I tried contacting surrounding towns but you have to live in their district and provide proof of residence.

A individual does offer a clothing giveaway from donated clothes locally . But it is first come first serve and mainly offer grade school sizes. I did donated the boys outgrown clothes to this cause.
