Hi y’all!!! It’s me, your friendly neighborhood Angela!
I hate asking for help ever but with needing this surgery and having to go out of state to get it; we need help!
Back story! I was born with multiple congenital heart defects. One called tga (transposition of the great vessels- where the aorta and pulmonary artery are switched), 2 holes in my heart - an asd and a vsd (asd is an atrial septal defect and vsd is a ventricular septal defect; which means that both the upper chambers and lower Chambers of my heart had holes!) I have had 9 open heart surgeries to date and multiple procedures including 2 procedures on my heart this year to try to fix the vsd! This vsd is really damaging my heart and quality of life and if I don’t get it fixed, I will quickly need a transplant (help me stay off that list please!) it’s not an easy “fix” and we’ve finally found a team of surgeons willing to take my case! Soo as of today (8/20/21) I am officially a Cleveland clinic patient!
Which is amazing but we need help to get there, stay there and pay for the surgery. After having 2 procedures this year I need help! After the covid junk, we need help!
This will help pay for a rental car for 2 trips to Cleveland from our home in nc (neither of our vehicles can make this trip!) it will help pay for hotels for the first trip stay as I have appointments on the 14th and 15th of September. And then it will help when my surgery is scheduled (which will be quickly thereafter)and then to again, rent a car and hotels. a
Anything left over will help with the cost of these procedures and surgeries. The procedures themselves so far are over 100k each! Thank god for insurance because I do not have to pay all of that but I do have to pay my part!
thank you for your thoughts and prayers. And consideration of helping us out!
also, please share so that we can meet our goal because I NEED this surgery
much love and appreciation
Michael, Angela and Kassidy Honaker
