We, as a family are facing a difficult time. Anyone who has ever met my little sister Heidi Ernster, will truly understand.

Heidi Jean was born with Cerebral Palsy. She has been a fighter her whole life.

She has endured countless operations and health complications throughout her life. Her little body can no longer survive the operations and the pain of recovery. The doctors have informed that she is no longer a candidate for surgery.

We are at Hospice now, trying to prepare for her passing. We are reading to her, talking to her and providing as much comfort and support as we are able.

We would truly appreciate any help that can be given. We have prepared as much as possible, but are still falling short.

Any funds will be used to support immediate family, memorial costs and travel costs.

If you have ever met Heidi, you know she has a beautiful soul. Her smile lights up a room. Her love unfaltering.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
