Debbie's Open Heart Surgery Fund

Donation protected
I started this campaign to help my cousin Debbie. Shortly before Halloween - I was on the phone with Debbie and out of nowhere she felt funny and sick and said she had to go. I asked if she needed help and she said yes...Debbie is the strongest person I know and she doesn't ask for help. She didn't know at the time but she was having a heart attack. She was admitted to the hospital and was undergoing testing and during that time she continued to have more heart attacks. Debbie was taken for emergency surgery and FOUR Stents were placed in her heart.  This is really serious and scary! 


Debbie surely has an angel watching over her. She is no stranger to scary medical issues. When she was a teen and I a young girl she suffered a brain aneurysm. But again her angel was watching over her. Debbie is like a sister to me ❤️


Unfortunately - this isn't the end of Debbie's journey. On February 12 she is scheduled for open heart surgery to repair an aortic anuerysm and a double bypass. She is obviously unable to work during this time as her job is physical.  She's often short of breath and very fatigued and her job is physical. 


In the meantime medical bills are piling up! Between hospital co-pays, doctors, the pretesting and upcoming surgery I know they will keep coming. She will have a long road to recovery and receive in home physical therapy and then outpatient physical therapy. 


When I was sick and going for a stem cell transplant - Debbie was there for me. Every time I was hospitalized she was one of the first to come visit and always bearing gifts. She is one of the strongest people I know! 


At This time Debbie needs to be as relaxed and stress free as possible so that she can recover. So I implore you to help me return the favor and please donate to this worthy cause! Please also keep Debbie and our family in your prayers ❤️ Vinny needs his mommy to get better fast! 

Thank you so much!!
