That's going to be a tough one alright... building industry's not the best place to be right now, but if he's injured then that's probably not even an option.
I do know the pastor of a small church in Litchfield Park - 8-10 miles from Surprise. I think most mission/ministry work is on a volunteer basis.
I did find this on the church's web site:

Sounds like they might be able to help him feed his family on the cheap.
