Join Me in My Heart Surgery Journey

I love life and having fun with the people I care about!

In December 2024, I was diagnosed with significant aortic stenosis due to a congenital bicuspid aortic valve. The stenosis has since become severe, and as such, now in March 2025, it is beginning to put my heart at risk for other complications due to increasing pressure. I must have a heart valve replacement to save my life, and my cardiologist has referred me to the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio for open heart surgery, hoping specifically for a Ross Procedure. I do have health insurance, but the portion of the medical charges I’m responsible for, the travel and accommodation expenses for myself and my caregivers, and all of the extra expenses associated with the the trip and my recovery, are far beyond my means. It was difficult for me to decide to set this up, but several friends suggested I do it. Any and all donations are genuinely appreciated beyond measure!! I’m humbled by the thought of your support.
