Jeremy's Heart Transplant Care.
I have had heart issues my whole life. I had open heart surgery when I was twelve to have a hole repaired on the inside of my heart. Athough the surgery was sucessfully repaired the hole, there where also complacations.
Due to the complacations my heart now beats too fast, and I needed a ICD implanted when I was seventeen. Slowly my heart started failing and I developed an enlargement in my heart. My heart health is so poor that I am waiting at the Mayo Clinic Rochester to wait for a heart transplant as this is now the only thing that can change my heart health.
The funds would go to my stay at the Gift of Life Transplant House here in Rochester, MN. After transplant you are required to stay close to the hospital incase any issues should happen with the new heart such as rejection or infection. The post transplant stay is at least 3 months.
Any extra money will be donated to the Gift of Llife Transplant House; since I will be staying there, giving back would be nice. They are a great organzation for people who need help in crappy times like I'm in.
Here is a link to their site if you would like more information about why I am choosing to stay there post transplant and about the organization.
