McKenzie needs a Heart. Updated

 In 2019 I was diagnosed with severe congestive heart failure. Over time it has become progressively worse. The normal heart rate is around 60 BPM...mine is 15. 

I've learned a lot of lessons in life, but since I've been diagnosed, I've learned the most valuable  lesson; I've learned to appreciate things like never before. And the small things we take for granted on a daily basis I've learned to appreciate more than ever. When you're unable to walk to the kitchen to get water for yourself, when you're unable to do the things you love, like paint, create music, ride motorcycles, or simply walk to the store, it gives you a new appreciation for life. And I have discovered that it really is the little things that count. 

I have had a lot of dreams that I took for granted, thinking I had all the time in the world. But I hope that one day I'll be able to reach at least one of my goals which is to visit Alaska. With my current health condition it almost seems impossible, but I'm not a quitter; I don't know the meaning of the word. 

 I really need financial help in order to get on the heart transplant list. Insurance is needed first, before I can get on the list. Doctor's have informed me that I'm a perfect candidate for heart  transplant. I love life and need your help. I will send original artwork to any and every donation received. Words will not be able to express my appreciation!!
