Funds for Fleur

Donation protected
As many of you know, our beloved Fleur Prade is scheduled for heart surgery this month! Fleur has two leaking valves that are in desperate need of repair. However, her lungs are so weak, that all but the leading heart surgeon in the country have turned her down. They refuse to operate on her, worried that she will not survive the heart-lung machine. However, there is a team of doctors at Mount Sanai Hospital in New York that only takes complicated cases. They are confident that Fleur’s heart can be repaired. She is currently on medication to increase heart and lung function, pumping her up for the impending surgery. She can’t wait to get back to doing what she loves most: teaching French to all ages, and supporting the humane society.

Fleur never ceases to amaze me, in that no matter how much pain she is in or how serious her condition is, she is always concerned about those around her. She wants the best for her students, and she treats me and my problems with respect, concern, and sympathy even though they are nothing compared to what she is going through.

Fleur is an inspiration and a force of nature! Thank you so much for helping her ease the financial burden so that she can heal and get back to work.

Notre Fleur a besoin de votre aide! Le 21 décembre, Fleur va passer Noël dans un hôpital pour se faire opérer à coeur ouvert à Mount Sinai, dans la ville de New York. Ce n'est pas une opération sans risques, et plusieurs chirurgiens ont refusé de le faire, mais elle aura la chance d'avoir le chirurgien le plus expérimenté en ce qui concerne les valves cardiaques. Fleur a besoin d'une intervention chirurgicale pour réparer deux valvules défectueuses dans son coeur. Son assurance maladie sera insuffisant pour tous les frais, en particulier elle doit verser des arrhes pour la chirurgie et le montant sera au moins $5 000. En plus, elle doit rester près de la ville de New York (impossible de prendre un avion pendant au moins deux semaines).  Nous ne savons pas combien ça fera, probable que $10 000.  Fleur vous remercie pour tout aide en quoi que ce soit.
