Annette is the sweetest soul with the brightest smile. Many people were devastated to learn that she was rushed to Boston Medical Center a few weeks ago due to heart failure. Since then, she has had many tests and procedures and was transferred to one of the leading facilities for cardiology, Brigham & Women's. Annette has been an absolute warrior through all of this. Her condition is extremely rare for someone so young and healthy. Annette will be undergoing surgery soon to implant an LVAD. This device will assist her heart function and will be a bridge to a heart transplant, which she will need in the future. There are still lots of unknowns, but we know it will be a long, bumpy road to recovery.

The money raised here will go directly to Annette's parents Amanda and Jamie to pay for whatever they need during this time. Her mom, dad and other family members have dropped everything to be there for Annette. I am hoping this fundraiser can help to remove financial burdens and show Annette and her family how many people love them.

Thank you for considering donating; no amount is too small.
