Hi, my name is Nicole and I am raising money to help my aunt Joanne during her recovery from heart surgery. A little about Joanne, she is an amazing mom and grandmother, as well as the best aunt, sister, and friend anyone could ask for. Joanne found herself as a single mother of two, and the sole owner of a small business when her husband tragically passed of cancer in 1992. Since then she has always done her best to ensure her kids had the best life they could and has done her best to keep her husband’s business going.

Life has not always been kind to Joanne, she has frequently found herself in hard situations, despite consistently working 2-3 jobs. Partially due to her endless giving to others, even when she didn’t necessarily have the means to do so. Anyone that has met Joanne, even for a moment, knows she has such a big heart, especially for those in need. She has recently found herself in a position of need, and although she would never ask herself, she needs help.

Back on December 21st Joanne had several small heart attacks leading to the discovery of sever coronary artery disease. She had to undergo an emergency open heart surgery and received a triple bypass. She is recovering well but the process is slow and her doctors have made it clear she cannot continue her lifestyle of pushing herself so hard with her almost 80 hour work weeks. We are asking for any donations for medical bills and to keep her household afloat during her time of recovery.❤️
