Hello my name is Chris Reed, My wife and our family have suffered a great deal, we were in the hospital for almost a week. 

  My wife, Andrea recently had a stroke which was brought on by a congenital heart defect called ASD. They discovered a half inch hole in her heart that was a ticking time bomb, it should have been discovered at birth. She had to have Cardiac catheterization to close the hole.

 Surgery went well and she is on the road to recovery. 

 The future is uncertain at the moment, but she is strong and hopeful we will get past this. She has minor disabilities in her left side and brain from the stroke. 

 I work full time as an artist, and will be unable to work, I will be giving her home care for the foreseeable future. We also have an 11 year old daughter to take care of. 

We have to see heart specialists, neurologists, trauma therapists, the medical bills are overwhelming. 

Anything will help. A few small donations can be huge for us. We would like the best care to get her back to normal. 

We appreciate any consideration.

 Thank you,

 Chris, Andrea and Aila Reed
