Tunya is a mother, sister, daughter, pastor, friend and champion. She doesn’t look like a woman with such a serious illness but she is in desperate need of a heart transplant. She has been battling with heart disease for over 15 years, surviving 4 heart attacks and 2 strokes. Tunya always seems to have an encouraging word for someone else and now she needs some encouragement from us. Even when she is feeling her worse, one of the things you can always hear her say is, ‘if my eyes open – it is still a good day.” Sometimes we can see her fighting just to do everyday tasks that we take for granted like cooking, showering, getting dressed, even doing her hair. But she does it without complaining because she always tells us that ‘it could be worse.’
Tunya’s continuing her education while waiting for the transplant. She is currently enrolled at Drexel University taking online classes to pursue an MHA (Master’s in Health Administration). She has been unemployable outside of the home during this entire process, so she started finding jobs that allowed her to work from home but frequent hospitalizations hindered that. She is working to become ‘marketable’ again in the workforce when the transplant is done and she has healed. Help us help her get a new lease on life and look at the fact that she still has a lot of life left to live.
We, the children, family and friends of Tunya Slydell are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation. Someone who is in her element when she helping others, is now in need of help from others. Even with Medicare coverage, she has copays, deductibles, medications and doctor visits which could top $50,000. Transplantation and follow-up medications and treatments are very expensive.
To help with the financial burden of uninsured expenses, Tunya has chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community based fundraising guidance for more than 30 years. HelpHOPELive assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.

Thank you in advance for your support!
