My name is Mary, and I am facing a major medical challenge. I am being admitted to the heart failure clinic at MUSC, and the road ahead is uncertain. My heart is in bad shape—I already have a defibrillator, but now my mitral valves are failing. At 61 years old, I never imagined I would be facing something like this, but I am determined to keep fighting. Less than 2 weeks before my visit.

Preparing for this journey means more than just medical care. I will need to cover travel expenses, food, and hotel stays while I am at the clinic. On top of that, I need to make sure my animals and home are cared for while I am away. These costs add up quickly, and it’s overwhelming to manage them all on my own.

I am reaching out for help because I truly need it. Your support will make it possible for me to focus on my health and recovery, knowing that my basic needs and my pets are taken care of. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Thank you for standing with me during this difficult time. I LOVE AND APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU
