Hi, my name is Nancy and I am trying to help a good friend and a former work wife. She has had to have a heart valve replacement and will be out of work for 10 to 12 weeks. She and I are massage therapists, she is extremely hard working and talented. This medical emergency has caught her off guard,she has little savings so she needs your help. She is still in the hospital and when she gets out she will stay with my family until we are sure she can live alone. April is the proud mother of a dog and many cats that depend on her.
