UPDATE: It has been almost a month since Amanda's diagnosis. She has landed back at the hospital with more tests and more uncertainty! Please if nothing else share this post again as the financial burden continues to climb.

As some of you may know, on Monday November 11th our dear friend Amanda Smith suffered from a minor stroke that took her speech and cognitive abilities temporarily and landed her in the hospital. As doctors began to run tests problems with her heart started to arise. She has been diagnosed with left ventricular cardiomyopathy. Her heart is only functioning at 20-25% when normal function is 70%. She is not allowed to work on horses or ride, the cardiologist basically told her that her #1 job right now is to babysit her heart. She has been released from the hospital but has to wear a defibrillator vest that will monitor her heart 24/7. With this come immense financial burden as her only source of income has been stripped away from her for now.

Not having the ability to work and having two children who depend on her only adds stress to a situation where stress is to be avoided.

Amanda is the last person to ask for help but the first give it. She helps so many of us with her kindness and generosity and this time she could use our help until she can get back on her feet.

If you can not donate at this time we ask that you keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers in this time of uncertainty as they navigate this life changing event. Thank you
