Open Heart Surgery

Donation protected
Sept. 13, 2020 I had a heart attack. At that time a deformity was discovered on my main artery to the heart. It's believed I was born with this defect but it didn't become symptomatic until  recently. For 2 years my cardiologist was able to "control" the aneurysm with medication. Monday night I was admitted to Aiken Regional with chest pain, sweating, and shortness of breath. A heart catheterization Tuesday showed a blood clot inside the aneurysm so now I have no choice but to have open heart surgery. My husband and I own our own home improvement business and with me laid up our business has temporarily collapsed. I expect to be unable to work for at least 6 weeks after surgery (I'll be on a ventilator temporarily as well as tubes coming out of my chest) and we simply will not be able to survive that long with no money coming in. This is extremely stressful in a time I can't afford to be stressed so ANYTHING you could give would be more than appreciated. I will never be able to pay the exorbitant hospital bill that's coming with this, but if I can just pay my bills for the next couple months I'll be extremely relieved. Thank you for reading my story and God Bless.
