Hi, my name is Tatiana & I am trying to raise money for my wife, Loree’s, recovery after she undergoes a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) next week. This was very unexpected & occurred very abruptly. We had no time to prepare. Many of you may not but on the night of October 20,2025 ; Loree suffered what is now her second heart attack in the last 15 years. She was diagnosed with heart disease that stems from her first heart attack back in December 2010 at the age of 18. She has been hospitalized since 10/20/2025 and is currently a patient at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. After receiving her result from her CATH lab (cardiac catheterization laboratory), she was told that this heart attack has caused a tremendous amount of damage to her blood vessels causing blockages that do not allow proper blood flow inside the heart. Her doctors were amazed that her heart is even able to pump on its own after the amount of trauma it suffered. This is truly a blessing. Today she was told that she will have to undergo an arterial bypass surgery as an effort to prolong the condition of her heart. Within the future she will need a heart transplant. In the meantime I have taken a leave of absence from my employment to be by her side through this invasive procedure. We have a 9 year old daughter that we care for together as well. In this time of need, we are trying to raise $5,000 to cover costs while Loree & myself are unable to work for the next month or two. These funds will provide a vital safety net as we navigate this unexpected and overwhelming period. No donation is too small, everything truly helps us focus on her long road to recovery. We are grateful for every blessing we receive. Thank you for your support and for helping us through this difficult time.
