Support Reed's Life-Saving Heart Surgery
Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family and Kind-Hearted Supporters,
While I do not like to ask for help, the reality has hit that perhaps more funds will be needed than expected for Reed's upcoming surgery. As a Mom, nothing matters more to me than seeing my children healthy and thriving. Right now, we are facing one of the biggest hurdles of our lives: Reed will need life saving Open Heart Surgery to correct the heart defect he was born with (Ebstein's Anomaly of the Tricuspid Valve).
Reed is 10 years old and has always been a super sweet kid who loves soccer and trying to keep up with his older siblings. Despite the challenges he's faced due to his heart defect, he has shown incredible strength and resilience. This surgery is crucial for his health and well-being, and it offers the best chance for him to live a happier, healthier life.
Trying to juggle my current expenses of raising four kids on my income alone is a challenge in the best of circumstances. And while I'm more than grateful for the amazing doctors and care team who will perform the procedure, I know there will be unexpected costs that I simply cannot plan for. Every donation, no matter the size, will be more than appreciated. If you can't donate, sharing our story with your friends, family and community would mean the world to us.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us during this time. Your kindness and generosity will forever be a part of Reed's journey toward healing and hope.
With gratitude,
Karen
