Help Katie's Family Through Heart Failure Crisis
Donation protected
Family Emergency and Support-
I'm reaching out for help. My name is Rosemarie, and I live here in California. I have an older sister; she is 37, and her name is Katie. Katie lives in Iowa. She has 3 kids, ages 13, 10, and 5. My sister was admitted into the hospital on 10/15 for chest pain and heart issues. We found out she has two leaky valves and fluid in her heart, with only 26% of her heart working. Katie was placed in ICU. She had heart failure.
She has been sent home today, placed on a no-liquid diet and a shock vest with care at home. Her husband been by her side, but still need to work but time is tough. My mom is there to help, but she is very weak and has her own health issues. I am trying to raise money to be able to go to Iowa to help ASAP L, and also to help them financially, since no one is working at this time. Time is needed for my sister to get better.
