Heartfelt Hope for Jim

Donation protected
Jim has faced many hurdles along his heart health journey over the last six years.  After surgeries, stents, and stress tests, he now finds himself in the hands of Brigham and Women's Cardiac ICU in Boston where he awaits a heart transplant.


Jim's team of doctors are hopeful that with his new heart, he has the potential to return to teaching and to continue to live his life for many years to come.  Let's let Jim, Mel, and Mitch know that the entire HPS crew, friends, and family will be there every step of the way!


Many of us are all too familiar with the stress and uncertainty that a medical diagnosis brings upon a family.  In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic adds an extra layer of complexity and unpredictability.  


Jim's doctors have prepared him for the possibility of a heart transplant within the next week. Many decisions need to be made between now and then.  To help ease the financial burden that Jim and Melody will inevitably face, this Go Fund Me page has been created in Jim's name:  Heartfelt Help for Jim. 


Any amount that you can donate will help to cover medical costs, to  enable Jim to safely get to and from appointments post-surgery, and to cover any other household needs over the six month minimum recovery period.  As time goes on, we can add on other ways to support Jim and Mel as needed.  


Thank you all for taking the time to read and thank you for your support of Jim and his family.
