Support for Peggy Riley and Her Family

Donation protected
We are John and Becky Riley and we are creating this GoFundMe page for our sister-in-law, Peggy Riley, who is currently hospitalized with terminal CHF (congestive heart failure). Peggy was admitted to Fairview Southdale hospital early in the a.m. on 8/13/23 with profound weakness and shortness of breath and yesterday, after many days of tests, treatment modalities, and medical consults, she was told she had very little time left to live because her heart and lungs are beyond repair. Her breathing is currently being supported with a high flow oxygen device and a BiPap machine, which are meant to be bridges to recovery from medical conditions rather than a long term solutions for them. With no hope that her lungs and heart will improve with treatment, she was informed that her only options moving forward were comfort/palliative care or intubation and life on a ventilator. She doesn't want the ventilator option so after discussing her options with her family, she signed a DNR (do not resuscitate) order, which means she is unlikely to survive her hospital stay once the current treatment modalities become ineffective. This GoFundMe campaign is being started because both Peggy and Mike have had significant medical issues over the last few years that have resulted in lost income for them. Currently, Peggy has been unable to work since April because of her mounting medical issues and although she still has health insurance through her work place, the medical bills she is incurring will not be fully covered by it. We are hoping that some of their financial challenges can be offset by the generosity of their friends and family. Thank you all for considering a donation to Peggy and her family and know that any funds collected will be used to ease Peggy's family's financial challenges.
