Journey to my New Heart…

My journey began in 1998 when I found out I had an enlarged heart. Around 2009 I found out I had congestive heart failure and have been battling it since then. Around April 2021 they had to bring me back to life. They put an LVAD (a pump for end-stage heart failure) in me to keep me alive while I wait for a heart transplant. If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t be here now. I felt defeated. What kind of life was I going to have? I had to learn my new routine in life. I live on batteries during the day and plug into the wall at night.

My daughter means everything to me…She will be 12 this month (April). She helps take care of me. She wants to spend time with me doing things and learning how to craft. She is bright young lady who loves to prank family members like her mom does. Just enrolled her in 4-H Positive Youth Development and Mentoring Organization and she is excited about that. I see a bright future ahead of her and I would love to be a part her journey.

She understands what her mom is going through and hopes one day she gets a new heart. Your donation will help me with the medically related expenses that insurance will not cover:
Travel expenses
Medical supplies
Life-long, expensive anti-rejection medicine

Would you join me on this journey to help me live for my daughter?
