<div>HI!... story is...I was having a hard time functioning day to day, breathing was <em>impossible</em>, and I have been unable to work at my second job (waitressing). I haven't been there for almost 5 months now, probably won't go back until "this", is in remission... I have had to take alot of days off at Home Depot too, before I was finally admitted to the hospital. <strong>(Now I'm not sure how I'm going to come up with the rent and bills for my son Kaden and myself.)</strong> One full-time job (Home Depot) isn't enough. Of course, my health insurance has an $8,000 a year deductible on top of everything else.
</div>
<div><strong>It turns out, that I have Cardiac Sarcoidosis, an Auto-Immune disease that attacks the heart</strong>. The electrical signals in my heart are blocked and cannot communicate with each other due to scar tissue caused by my own immune system attacking healthy cells. I was finally hospitalized.<strong> I had a Medtronic Cobalt defibrillator and pacemaker combo placed on the left side of my chest. </strong>They are still deciding what immune suppressing medication and or steroids to put me on to prevent further damage to my heart. I have many many many doctors appointments, scans and tests in my future. However right now, I can breathe again!

</div>
<div><strong>Until then, I'm trying to catch up with my rent and bills from missing so much work the last few months.</strong> I really dislike asking for money but I have no other resources. Thanks for listening. I really appreciate any large or small gesture of support.

<div>BROOKE AND KADEN
