All Heart For Taylor & Marissa

Let me introduce myself to you and share a story.  I am Lisa Hall aka "Aunt Lisa"  to many and this is the story of one of my wonderful nieces.

Taylor Jane who is 12 years old and blessed with a unique spirit full of life  was born with a disease called dilated cardiomyopathy.  She is currently in a hospital in NYC being tested and evaluted for a heart transplant.
Due to her current condition she must stay in the hospital possibly until her transplant.  Their home is in upstate NY so they are away from home. Taylor misses Angel her dog tremendously who provides much needed companionship and unconditional love.  
 
My  reason for the gofundme account is to raise money to help offset the cost of their added  expenses. They do have health insurance but there are many bills and expenses especially when they will need to stay close to the NYC  hospital awaiting the transplant.   Trying to take the financial burden off my brother so he can concentrate all of his efforts on Taylor.

Since birth Taylor's Dad has been there for her every step of the way and what you don't know is Taylor's Dad has cardiomyopathy as well.   He has his own health issues on top of his heart condition which he recently had to undergo surgery for as well.  Due to his sickness he lives on a fixed income.   Regardless of any of his own issues he has been by Taylor's side continuously.  

Taylor has been treated for cardiomyopathy since the first diagnosis back in 2003 as an infant.    Doctors are not sure why her medications have not been as successful in keeping her heart stable.  Over the last year or so her heart does not want to properly supply blood flow like it should.  She has been in and out of the hospital for long stays and they have too many medical bills to mention.  The medications are constantly being monitored and changed to try all options which also have created large out of pocket expenses.  Unfortunately her heart has gotten worse and the medications are not working.

Please let me say a heartfelt thank you to all who visit this page and read my story.   To all who decide to give a gift to my brother and his daughter there will never be enough words to say how grateful I am that you did. 

There is no greater gift than life itself!

Sincerely,

Lisa Hall
