As many of you know I have had quite the year. I suffered congestive heart failure and went into Mass General Hospital on December 11, 2018. I spent a total of 7 weeks of testing for various solutions before finally having open heart surgery to place an (LVAD) Left Ventricular Assist Device. I was released from the hospital on February 4,2019. I was listed for transplant and worked over the next 10 months working in cardiac rehab, walking and getting stronger day by day.
On the evening of October 9, 2019 I received a call that they had a heart for me and was transplanted on the morning of October 10, 2019. I awoke from the surgery the next day, which was my 22nd wedding anniversary. What an incredible gift from God and of course my angel hero Donor. As you can probably imagine with 2 open heart surgeries in 1 year, extended hospital stays, not being able to work, plus the ongoing treatments, and co pays for medication and appointments the expenses outweigh my income by a substantial amount.
This is why I have chosen to fund raise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.

update from biopsy yesterday rejection stayed at a 1 but they are worried about my kidneys so they are going to reduce my prednisone anyway i will be able to drive next week and will be repeating cardiac rehab soon
I found out some info on my hero donor I know he was a male in his 30's
my rejection has dropped to a 1a/1r and they have started to drop my prednisone im on 30mg instead of 40mg per day got a letter from my donor family with contact info
i get out and walk everyday rain or shine cold or warm i believe i owe it to my donor to get strong and carry on with my life!!!
