On March 18, 2026, at 1:45am, I was awakened in the middle of the night with heavy chest pains so severe that I had to call 911 for the first time in my life. I was taken to the ER for an emergency heart procedure, and doctors placed two stents in what they call the 'widow maker.' It was terrifying to go through this alone, and I was very frightened. Now, I’m home recovering, but my journey isn’t over yet. Because I’m diabetic, my recovery is slower than expected, and my cardiologist has told me I need the same heart procedure done on the other side, which is being scheduled in the next few weeks. I’m terribly frightened all over again.

Currently, I am unable to work, so I’m humbly trying to raise funds to help with mounting medical bills, surgery costs, and the sudden financial hardship I’m facing. Donations will help alleviate the burden of everyday expenses and uncovered medical costs, as well as relieve the tremendous anxiety and worry so I can focus on my recovery. I am keeping a positive attitude and look forward to getting better and back to work as soon as my doctor allows.

I appreciate all of you who are seeing this and thank you for your generous support. God bless all my friends and family. Mary Kaye Nahale
