Support Colleen's Heart Surgery Recovery

Donation protected
My name is Karen Leitner. I'm here to share the story of my niece, Colleen Brennan Carter , 41. Colleen was born with a life-threatening heart defect that required major surgery at 2 months of age. Her aorta was deformed and wasn't getting blood to send through the heart. The doctors created a new aorta out of a vein in her arm. Since that time, she has had 6 more heart surgeries, most in the last couple of years. Colleen also has MS, diabetes, and recently, a stroke.

Because of these continuous health issues, she is unable to work. She is way behind on her bills and desperately needs help.
Please share a little Christmas cheer with Colleen.
