My name is Hollie, and I’m a mom of five who has spent the last several years fighting a heart condition called AFib. I was first diagnosed at 39, and since then my life has been a cycle of hospital stays, procedures, and trying to stay strong for my kids.

Over the years, I’ve been “shocked” back into rhythm ten different times. Last year, I underwent my first heart ablation, hoping it would finally give me my life back. Unfortunately, after just three months, the AFib returned. Since then, I’ve been hospitalized again and cardioverted two more times.

My doctors now say it’s time for a second ablation — one with a much higher success rate (up to 90%). This procedure is my best chance at getting back to being active, present, and fully myself again. But even with insurance, the out‑of‑pocket costs are more than I can manage alone.

I’m asking for help to make this procedure possible. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to being healthy enough to keep up with my kids, to work, and to live without the constant fear of another episode.

Thank you for reading my story, for sharing it, and for supporting me during one of the hardest seasons of my life. Your kindness truly means more than you know.
