Hi my name is Uviluq Naukatsik, I live in Rankin Inlet Nunavut. I have 3 children their names are Catherine 8 years, Silas 6 and Cason who is 9 months old. I had an en large heart after having my last baby Cason, I got sent to Winnipeg July 12, 2014 and than I got treated there, then went back home July 31, 2014. I was home for a month of August, and I seem to get worse i couldn't even take care of my baby. So they sent me back to Winnipeg, I was there with my fiancé for 2 weeks. I got worse in Winnipeg , so they decided to send me to Ottawa middle of September. when we got to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute I was a wake for couple days. Then I couldn't breath good, so they put me to sleep and than put breathing tube in me September 13, 2014. Since then I was sedated and finally woke up in November 7, 2014. When I finally woke up I couldn't belive I was sedated for 2 and a have month, I had no voice my right side of feet has a foot drop and my left hand has no strength to do anything with it. So from then I started to heal from all that surgery I had. And  the doctors told me that I lost lots of blood, they thought I wouldnt make. So from then they told me I had to recover from my surgery, in order to be in the waiting list for a new heart. While I was waiting I had an R Vad and L Vad that was pumping for my heart.  I finally started eating in December and In December I got better and I got listed for a new heart. I was away from my kids that whole time, my mother in- law and father in- law was taking care of my children that whole time. So Christmas came my kids, in- laws and my sister came to spend time with me they were here in Ottawa for 1 week. My kids had no choice to go back home. I finally started walking December 30. From there I kelpt trying to get my strength back, so they put me to the ward in January from there I was still waiting for a new heart, it is really hard to be away from my kids for a long time even from today. So in March of 13, 2015 I had the best news ever, they told me they found a heart for me. I started crying with me fiancee After hearing that it might take months and months  even 2 years waiting because of my anti bodies. Just lucky they found me a heart. I got a new heart now I am still healing from my heart surgery, they told me I might be discharge on May 1 or 5. But I have a wound that still needs to heal and I'm using a vac to heal faster, so I don't know if I'll get discharged beginning of May. And they told me if I get discharged I will be at The Ottawa Hospital Residencbe Corporation with 1 bed room with my 3 children and my sister, with the income with 50 dollars a day to feed all 6 of us in that 1 bed room. They told me that I could only have 1 bed room. The doctors are saying we will be here 6 months with no income but only that 50 dollars a day to feed 6. 
This fundrasing effort if for myself and for those who are providing compassionate care for me during this ongoing biopsies. As you can understand this is a very stressful period. Any assistance to relieve the financial stress on my family and I would be sincerely appreciated. 
May you be blessed in happiness and health.
