San Diego woman loses her arms and legs after surgery; husband seeks help to prepare home

A San Diego family is facing an unimaginable new reality after a woman lost both her arms and legs following complications after surgery, leaving her husband desperately seeking help to transform their home into a place where she can safely live and recover.
What began as a medical procedure quickly turned into a life-changing ordeal. Instead of returning home and resuming the life they knew, the couple found themselves confronting challenges they had never anticipated—mobility, accessibility, daily care and the enormous emotional and financial burden that comes with such a dramatic change.

The woman now requires significant assistance with everyday activities that were once routine. Her husband has become her primary advocate, determined to make sure she has a safe environment waiting for her when she is able to return home.
But their house was never designed for someone living without arms and legs.
Doorways, bathrooms, furniture, entrances and other parts of the home may now need to be modified or completely redesigned. Even simple tasks can require specialized equipment and careful planning.
For her husband, preparing the home is about far more than construction. It is about giving his wife a chance to regain as much independence and comfort as possible while adjusting to a completely different way of life.
The couple is now turning to their community for support as they face the enormous costs associated with home modifications, medical needs and ongoing care.
Behind the request for help is a family trying to rebuild after a devastating medical crisis. Her husband says he wants his wife to come home to a place where she feels safe, supported and surrounded by the people who love her.
Their story is a reminder that a medical emergency does not end when a patient leaves the hospital. For families facing permanent disabilities, the journey can continue at home, where they must suddenly adapt their entire lives to a new reality.
Now, with the support of friends, neighbors and the wider San Diego community, her husband is hoping to turn their home into a space that allows his wife to face the future with dignity, comfort and hope.
