On October 23rd Eloisa had a heart attack that required surgery to insert two stents into a blocked left coronary artery in her heart. On October 25th she returned home with a colorful new pillbox full of meds to aid her recovery. Then on October 31st she was back in the hospital receiving four more stents after having a second heart attack. Recovery is not going to be easy. It will likely be lengthy including months of cardiac rehabilitation and follow-up visits with multiple physicians. She attended her first cardiac rehab appointment on Wednesday and walked for four minutes on the treadmill! This was the first of many steps on her journey to recovery.

While she is unable to continue the work she loves as a horticulturist, we are hoping we can aid in her recovery by easing the stress of paying mounting medical bills, prescriptions, and copays on top of rent, food and her usual monthly bills.

Please help us to help someone who has always been a positive and colorful light to us all and has done so much to help others!
