Kristen's New Heart

Hey Everyone!!!! I wanted to make this fundraiser for our friend Kristen Jarosz. As most of us know she is  34 years old and full of life. About 7 years ago she felt sick and ended up in the hospital, this started all the craziness. Since then she has had many procedures and surgeries to attempt to correct her heart function. Unfortunately this passed March her Team decided her heart was too weak and that she would eventually need a heart transplant. This is also when they decided to place a LVAD. A LVAD is a device that helps pumps blood from your heart to the rest of your body. This is placed when your heart function is super low and a heart isn't readily available. Kristen is feeling better with the LVAD and now awaiting transplant. As we can all imagine financially this is a huge strain. She has been out of work almost a year and still need transport back and forth to Strong and other appts frequently. After heart transplant she will have a long recovery time. But she will also have life back. I just really wanted to try to help her out in this difficult situation. Thank you all in advance, I know Kristen appreciates everything!
