Johanne's Story
Donation protected
This is Joey's Story ...
Past ~ At the age of 18 my mom Johanne Curiston was rocked by the news she had Hodgkins Disease she would need to be operated on
It was a complicated surgery that left her chest wired shut (the protruding wires would catch on her tops ) and she had tons of scarring
She also had to undergo Intense Radiation which damaged her Heart and Kidneys (1970's)
Present~My mom's health began to deteriorate in the last year , with everything going on she was in dire need of open heart surgery, she had a bypass done and 2 mechanical valves put in just over a week ago , the surgery took a little longer then expected due to trying to maneuver around that old scar tissue , the extra sedation had her outta sorts for a few days , her kidney function started to decline so now she requires dialysis which has slowed her healing process
Reality ~ My parents are not the type of people to ask for help
With my mom unable to work the last few months my dad's pension and their savings barely covered the cost of living and my mom's medical expenses
now add in the travelling expenses since the surgery and her up coming post op needs , such as travel to medical appts, medication, medical supplies there is no way they can do this alone
As hard as it is to put my pride aside to even reach out and ask for help , It's much harder for me to watch 2 of the most important people in my life struggling
I am hoping with the help from family , friends and the generosity of others that we could lessen their load even just a little so they can focus on my beautiful mom's road to recovery ..
Peace , Love and Light , Claudelle xoxo
