Christina Cherry hasn't added a story.
Hello,
My name is Christina, my husband is Nick and our daughter Jo. We are your everyday family trying to live a happy life and just keep getting knocked back down. Even though he made it through the Marine Corps physically unscathed when our daughter was 7 weeks old Nick fell off a roof at work and broke his back. He was paralyzed initially and although he was walking again he required the assistance of a cane and is awaiting his 3rd spinal surgery. He has not returned to work since 2013.
On Sept 30 of 2015 he was on the way to pick our daughter up from the sitter when another car attempted to pass him in a no passing zone into oncoming traffic. In events yet to be determined Nick lost control of our car hitting a tree. He and his Uncle were both ejected and his Uncle passed away. Nick had numerous injuries and underwent surgery the next day. I have been attempting to work from home since then to take care of him, the house, and Jo. This has severely cut into my income.
Last week Nick was charged with Involuntary Manslaughter in the accident. We have numerous issues with the investigation and there are alot of discrepencies that need to be brought to light but, the police have been determined to place the blame on Nick from day 1 even though there was another car involved that left the scene and was stopped later.
The retainer for the attorney is $13,500. In addition to the medical costs, lost income, vehicle replacement etc our resources are tapped out. I have sold my car, will be closing my retirement out, and selling everything else we can as well as looking into financing but we have fallen behind on our bills as it is. Please help me keep my family together!!! Any help is greatly appreciated.
