Help Heather Get Life-Saving Heart Surgery

Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support for someone incredibly dear to us—our sister, Heather.

Heather was born with a congenital heart defect and has lived her whole life with courage, strength, and grace. Now, she faces a critical turning point. Her doctors have confirmed that she needs another major heart surgery—this time, it’s truly a matter of life and death. Without this operation, her heart will not be able to keep going.

Heather is the heart of our family. She’s a daughter, sister, niece, aunt, and loyal friend who has always put others first. Whether it’s lending a hand or offering a shoulder to cry on, she’s there. Now, it’s our turn to be there for her.

While the emotional toll of this situation is already overwhelming, the financial burden adds another layer of stress. The cost of surgery, hospital care, time off work, and the mountain of bills that will follow is more than Heather can manage on her own. This GoFundMe is to help ease that burden—covering medical expenses and essential monthly bills while she recovers.

No donation is too small. Every dollar raised will go directly to Heather’s care and recovery. If you aren’t able to give right now, please consider sharing this page with others.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support. We’re incredibly grateful for your help in giving Heather a second chance at life.

With love,

From Heather’s family



Update:
The Current, the plan is to obtain a new echocardiogram, CT focused on her heart and possibly an MRI. She will have 4 hour procedure and she will be under general anesthesia (full sedation with a breathing tube). The heart catheter will go in through a vessel in her groin and up to her heart specifically to see the electrical conduction and where the arrhythmia is occurring. Once they identify the problem areas they will burn those spots so the abnormal electrical conduction cannot occur.

Thank you everyone that has donated. Will update as we get more information
