Officer Carmen Medical Emergency

Carmen is a Chicago Police Recruit who graduated from the police academy on April 27, 2018 at the age of 26 years old.

Carmen was admitted to the emergency room on May 21, 2018 due to a mitral valve endocarditis and severe mitral regurgitation. After several attempts to treat her illness with antibiotics, it was determined that Carmen would need open heart surgery to replace her mitral heart valve.

Surgery took place on May 31, 2018. Due to surgery she had a hemorrhage, her blood count level was low and she had to get a blood transfusion 4 times after the surgery.

She has a pic line on her arm and every 8 hrs she receives an antibiotic aside from all the other medications she has to take.  

Because Carmen is on probationary status with the Chicago Police Department, she has exhausted all her medical days and was forced to go on medical leave without pay.

Any help you can give to assist with Carmen's increasing medical bills and day to day living expenses is very much appreciated.
