Due to heart surgery coming up March 11th, 2025, I have been on medical leave. In preparation, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Recovery is expected 4 to 8 weeks+. With a 5-7 day hospital stay and many other followup appointments. The medical and other expenses are unbelievable. I have set up this Gofundme, for many have asked how and what you can do to help.. first and for most we thank God Almighty for waking us.

If anyone would like to financially assist with any medical & other expenses to accumulate during my time in recovery you may do so on this app.

(Intro at bottom has a brief description of my medical condition). Thanks in advance love you all.

Hello to all.. first and for most all glory and honor to our highest power for the life We have been blessed with. The family, friends, loved ones, homes, food, jobs.. .. and in my case, yes the battle of heart disease. "For the strongest battles are given to those strongest at heart".. and this I have learned to accept..

Since birth I was ill, at the age of 9 medical team discovered a damaged heart..(ASD ATRIAL SEPTIC DEFECT) arteries and valves were growing in the wrong places, at which an emergency heart operation took place in 1990.. with the main valve leakage repaired, other damages became visible. No surgery was needed until now...

At this time we find life, childbearing, and other medical issues have prompted some focus and attention to repair my damaged tricuspid valve. Though risky and many complications may arise, as with any procedures, this repair is needed to properly guide the flow of oxygenated blood throughout the body, for as right now my blood sits in the middle chamber of the heart circulating and mixing the oxygenated blood with the deoxygenated blood. My right atrium is 3x the normal size for trying to manage all the work it's trying to do and the left atrium is over working trying to filter the blood. The battle has been a lifetime.. my lifetime.. I have accepted, live a full life, pray for strength and have been blessed with 4 beautiful children.. going against all medical staff and all odds. Being told not to attempt pregnancy for my heart was to weak. In placing all in God's hands I have been so very blessed with my four beautiful babes... 2 single pregnancies and a double.(Twins). They have made me so proud..

So at this time with that introduction. I would like to say thank you God Almighty for all my blessings. For waking us today. For all the love you show us and all the family & friends you have blessed us with.

For this journey has consumed me and is my focus.. the financial bind is unimaginable. I normally don't ask for assistance in any aspect of my life.. shame on me.. but at this time I'm reaching out first and for most for prayers for guidance and focus amongst the medical staff in their everyday functions, for my family that will be sitting anxiously waiting for my recovery.. and last but not least for myself. For a recovery that will grant me more time with family & friends.. better health, strength and focus.

Thank you all for taking time to get to know me, for reading this intro, for the prayers, the love, and if any financial assistance given, I thank in advance..

May God's blessings be upon us all.

Thank you all sincerely..
