Julie has been in and out of the hospital since December 2025 with a serious heart condition and is now awaiting a heart transplant. This unexpected medical emergency has turned life upside down for Julie and her family. She will remain hospitalized in Tampa while awaiting this specialized heart care. The road ahead includes extensive medical care, recovery time, and significant uncertainty.

As you can imagine, the medical bills will be overwhelming, and there are also everyday household expenses that don’t stop during a medical crisis — mortgage, utilities, food, gas prices for the family driving to Tampa each day and basic needs. Being away from work for an extended period only adds to the stress. We are asking for support to help ease the financial burden so Julie and her family can focus on what truly matters right now — health, healing, and hope.

Any amount helps, and even sharing this page means more than you know. Thank you so much for your kindness, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
