Deb, the glue that holds our family together, recently went in for what was expected to be a standard heart catheterization with maybe a few stents. To everyone’s shock, she learned she would need a quadruple open heart bypass surgery instead. This unexpected news has turned her and Warren’s worlds upside down, and she now faces an extensive hospital stay and a long road to recovery. During this time, Deb won’t be able to work, which means she can’t contribute to her household bills or keep up with the mounting medical expenses.

So many people know Deb for her warm smile and quick wit from behind the grill at the hospital cafeteria. She’s touched countless lives just by being herself, always ready with a kind word or a laugh for anyone who needs it.

The funds raised here will go directly toward helping Deb cover her medical bills and living expenses while she recovers from heart surgery. She’s always been the first to lend a hand or share a smile. Now, she needs our help more than ever to get through this difficult chapter.

Deb is the kindest person you’ll come across—always willing to help anyone in need. Now is our chance to give back to her for all the times she’s shown us her grace and kindness over the years. No matter how small, anything helps! Your support will mean the world to Deb and our family as she focuses on healing and getting back on her feet.
