Support Jessica's Urgent Heart Valve Need
Donation protected
UPDATE: Surgery has been postponed till Monday 7th! We just wanted to thank m everyone that has donated and shared so far!
Hello everyone, my name is Alicia and I am starting this GoFundMe for someone that means so much to me. I have known Jessica since we were 9 years old. We grew up together playing sports in and out of school. She is one of the most selfless, caring, and giving humans I've met. She was born with a heart condition, aortic stenosis, that doctors said at age 5, 10, 16, etc., she would need this surgery to fix the valve. Well, as usual, she's persevered through even this... but the time has come; her heart is in need of a new valve. She is scheduled for surgery on April 2 to go in and replace the valve. In the past year, she has been hospitalized two times, and every time she comes out more and more scared due to the severity of the surgery. Luckily, we found out she will not need open-heart surgery, but she will have a TAVR. Like all surgeries, there are risks, but those of you who know Jessica know how much she loves and gives to others. Bills are going to mount up, they already have, and due to her condition, she cannot work. Any little bit helps to keep the stress off of her. I care and love this girl more than you can imagine... but everyone needs a little help sometimes. So thank you from the both of us.
