I was diagnosed August 31, 2015 on my Fathers birthday with heart failure at the age of 29. Spent 15 days in 3 different hospitals to make sure I got the right care. My heart was at 20% function. I was shocked to hear those words just thinking about how much my family has gone through and I couldn't imagine leaving my best-friend,my 4yr old nephew. 'My heart has dropped between 10-15%. The medicine was taking a huge toll on me. I was sleeping most of the time, barely able to shower or get something to eat. I have been in and out of the hospital every other week because of overwhelming symptoms. I had to wear a defibrillator vest for 3 months till they just place one in my heart on December 8, 2015. I had been in the hospital for Thanksgiving. I just Left the hospital on December 23. 2015 just in time for Christmas but my holiday cheer wasn't here this year. I have had no income since August and it is effecting me in a huge way. I have been living on credit cards that are racked up. I have no social security yet. I know it's after Christmas and everyone is lacking in the money department but even a small amount would help. I will be getting on the transplant list after some tests this month. That gives me a shelf life of 10 years if everything goes well. I'm not sure what the future holds for me but I'm a fighter. I have gone against the odds of 2% and won before. I just need a little help to get some stress off my shoulders. I'm still keeping my sense of humor because it's needed. I'm not one to ever ask for help but I am desperately in need of it. Even a small amount can go along way. Please help in my fight against Heart Failure!! I plan on winning and living for a long time. Thank you for your time support!
