Hi. I'm Nickole.

To keep this short....when i was pregnant (2005 & 2007) my hormones attacked my heart and I have been disabled ever since. I have cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure, am dangerously anemic and have copd and fibromyalgia as well as a long list of comorbidities.

Being disabled allowed me to be a stay at home mother but has left me a shell of a human, my health is deteriorating at an alarming rate right now and I need my communities help.

I can not work. My husband works so hard and we pay our bills but there's more coming that we can not handle.

1. I need a new van. My 12 year old grand caravan has served us well but she's tired and I need a new reliable baby.

2. I am going to be put on the heart transplant list. But in order to do so I have a lot of expensive hoops to jump through. I am scared im going to die before I can afford all my testing. I need a right heart catherization, cardiopulmonary stress test, 5 rounds of iron infusions, heart surgery and life long follow ups and anti rejection meds.

3. I need meds. Lots and lots of meds. There are 2 specifically I can not afford. So I need $800+ monthly just for these 2 meds!!! Besides that I have about 14 other pills I have to take every single day. It gets overwhelming.

4. I need a wheelchair and wheelchair ramp!!!

If you could find it in your heart and wallet to help me, I would be forever in your debt and seriously grateful.
