Surprise Quadruple Bypass Leads to Huge Bills and Possible Eviction
I cannot begin to tell you the suffering my friend, Sylvana Boutros, has gone through in her life, but no matter what she is going through she never complains. She accepts all with grace, love and forgiveness. The only thing she has ever asked for is to be useful, to be of service, to help, heal and aid. No one who has ever asked for her help is ever turned away. But, now its her turn. She really needs our help, serious help. I cannot think of anyone who deserves it more.
When Covid hit, her husband’s already struggling business collapsed. Sylvana, a recent breast cancer survivor, despite still recovering was determined to find work. They have no car but she found a job she could walk to at a local Thrift Store. In the meantime, her husband’s health deteriorated significantly. A diabetic, in his late 60’s, he has no strength, can no longer walk without help, lost his balance and has serious vision problems. So now, at 65, with serious health problems herself, Sylvana is caring for him physically at home entirely herself.

Completely, exhausted she started to deteriorate, but would never let anyone know. She went to her Dr who told her she had “silent heartburn.” Awaiting an endoscopy, that Dr. said he would not perform the test without checking her heart first. Immediately they
discovered a problem requiring open heart surgery. She ended up having a quadruple bypass - three arteries completely blocked, plus a fourth with only 15% activity. Her medical team did not understand how she could have survived in that condition. Those of us who know and love her are sure that she survived on will alone.
She is currently very weak. Although recovering, she is completely overwhelmed with all that is happening and all her responsibilities. She and her husband have no children. They have no family in the US.
Filled with compassion and warmth, she is beloved by all. So, we, her friends, near and far are doing all that we can to help her but her needs are very great, more than any of us can meet despite our best efforts. She and her husband have accumulated many bills over the past few years because of a constant series of difficult events, their significant health issues, Covid and now this very serious operation.
We fully realize that people are suffering all over the world with impossible overwhelming needs and our hearts, prayers are with them. All we can do is try to help where we stand, whenever we see someone in need, however we can. With your help we can do this.
