Donate to Aid Sam's Friend's Medical Journey

My name is Sam, a former coworker. My friend and her family are going through a lot right now. In August, she was hospitalized and in a medically induced coma because her heart was pumping at 25%. She has heart failure and is not able to work right now. She has a four-year-old daughter.

Her four-year-old's dad has a full-time job which will come to an end come winter for this season. With her being sick for so long, we have been behind and it’s impossible to get caught up, let alone get ahead. She has a Boston appointment every month just for her follow-ups. She finally made it to her first cardiologist appointment after missing it twice due to car issues and not having the gas to get there. They are now behind on rent, not a full month, just partially. They owe on their car, car insurance, copays, and getting to appointments. She is waiting on disability paperwork from her doctor, but she’s taking forever.

She hasn’t told anyone how bad it is for them right now. Their phones are about to be off, their internet, which Harley and the whole family use for daily living. She feels awkward and embarrassed asking for any kind of help. She feels like she’s drowning and doesn’t know what to do. She has tried every resource in Massachusetts and they all turn her away, frustrating. She needs an oil change badly; they are getting further behind on bills. She has a 4-year-old daughter who needs winter clothes because she outgrew all of her clothes, feels like overnight. Plus, she has lost 65 pounds from being sick. I’m not sure what size clothes she is in, but she’s tired of wearing sweatpants or clothes that fall off of her all the time. She would love to go back to work. She misses her job, but with her heart failure and now she’s having palpitations, she will need a heart monitor for 2 weeks to see how soon she needs the surgery. She is not allowed to work. She needs back surgery, but they won’t do it because of her heart. Who knows how long disability will take, and she has no family locally. The closest is 2 1/2 hours away and doesn’t have much support. And not many friends. She has one good one that takes care of her mentally and physically, but she needs more help than that right now.

Idk what to do to help her other than make this for her, pray, and be there for her.
