Years ago a friend of ours was badly injured at camp (blew out his knee and needed it replaced). We all helped out by packing them up and babysitting their daughters (and doing a TON of dishes) while his wife took him to the ER to get temporarily fixed up.
His wife drove him home and parked their trailer on the street when they got there. The next day I drove over there and parked their trailer behind their hose for them, because it was too tight and scary for her to back it up.
So yes, there are helpful people in the world.
This isn't an all or nothing case though. You'll slowly get used to towing and eventually even backing.
There are some amazing Youtube videos that teach a back-up parking technique called "The Scoop" or "The Swoop". They're worth taking a look and giving it a try.
The kindness of strangers will be a big help until you develop the skills and techniques to do it yourself.
And good for you for supporting your husband this way. It sounds like he's a lucky man.
