Help Kim Get to Mayo Clinic – Fighting for Her Life & Answers
Hi, my name is Kim Trucke. I’m a 46-year-old medical mystery, survivor, and fighter. I’ve survived three heart attacks, a pulmonary embolism, sudden cardiac arrest (where I was pulseless for five minutes), a coma, brain injury, and countless ER visits. Doctors still don’t fully understand what’s happening—but they do know I need specialized care.
I’ve been diagnosed with:
• Endothelial dysfunction and Prinzmetal (vasospastic) angina, which causes sudden coronary spasms and chest pain that can lead to heart attacks without warning.
• A tumor in my adrenal gland, possibly related to Cushing’s syndrome, which has been extremely difficult to get properly diagnosed.
• A brain tumor (left acoustic neuroma) affecting my balance and hearing.
• Anoxic brain injury and mild cognitive impairment from my cardiac arrest.
I’m asking for help to get to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where experts can finally connect the dots and give me a real chance at stabilizing my health and future.
I live with:
• Constant chest pain, dizziness, memory loss, and blood pressure swings
• PTSD from trauma and medical events
• Daily medication side effects and limitations
• The mental and physical burden of not being believed or helped in time
How You Can Help:
Your donation will help cover:
• Travel to expenses for driving to MN
• Meals and medication during stay
• Follow-up care coordination
Even $10 makes a difference. And if you can’t donate, please share this with someone who might be able to help. Every click, share, or prayer brings me one step closer to answers.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I never imagined I’d need to ask for help like this, but I’ve exhausted every local option. Your support could literally save my life.
With all my heart,
Kim Trucke
