Aid Kiana's Family in Overcoming Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Hello everyone, this is Kiana. I'm looking to raise some money for my mom's medical costs. For those of you who don't know what is going on at the moment, my mother was rushed to the hospital on 11/11/2024. She couldn't breathe correctly and started to feel like her stomach was hard to the touch. After testing, she found out she had COVID and that it was affecting her congestive heart failure and making it worse. She was kept in the hospital for observation as her legs and feet got super swollen and red, another result of her congestive heart failure getting rapidly worse. After they started to monitor her and do more tests, they found out she needed to get open-heart surgery to get one of her valves replaced. As of recently, she was taken off of COVID restrictions and finally got her life-changing surgery, with some lifelong changes, of course. She is now in recovery from surgery, but we still have a long way to go as of right now. She is not in a hospital in-network for her insurance, which means she needs to pay for her surgery and such out of pocket. Transportation for her is going to be a bit tricky as she can't have any struggle getting in or out of a vehicle. She needs to go to appointments every week, which is going to be a bit more of a struggle with us only having a sedan. We need to get her rides from a shuttle or rideshare company with shuttle buses to get her to and from these appointments. As a family, we are also struggling with footing bills and such as she can't work at the moment. This has been a really hard and stressful transformation for everyone, and we are hoping people can help us out a little. If anyone can help, we would appreciate literally anything. We are hoping to get her home soon and recovering as fast as possible as this surgery is very big! Thank you all.
