My mom, Sunnie, has always lived up to her name and been a bright light to all those around her. She never hesitates to help others, cooking meals, offering rides, or just offering a listening ear. Now, she needs our help more than ever.

Recently, my mom was diagnosed with advanced heart failure and needs a heart transplant to survive. She is being listed for a transplant, but the process requires her to relocate to Chicago for a year of post-transplant care. This means she will have to manage her mortgage at home in South Carolina while also covering temporary housing costs in Chicago. On top of that, she faces significant medical expenses until her insurance coverage begins.

Without a clear plan for covering these costs, my mom cannot be listed for the transplant she desperately needs. The funds raised will go directly toward housing and medical expenses, giving her the chance to receive a new heart and a new lease on life. We are asking for your support to help her through this critical time. She will need at least $15,000 for this procedure. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing her story. It's our turn to help someone who has always been there for others.
