Help Heidi Munnecke with Brain Tumor Expenses

Many of you know of Heidi Munnecke here in South Lake Tahoe. She is Realtor extraordinaire, Queen of Strawberry, Rocky’s mom, and Loyal friend, sister and daughter.

She is facing the unexpected diagnosis of having a meningioma.

In layman’s terms..a brain tumor.

She has battled various symptoms over the years but as most people do, she blamed stress.

Two weeks ago, she had an MRI and the diagnosis revealed its ugly little head. In making the best decisions for her medical treatment, she has met with the incredible Dr. Yu at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He cut short his vacation to operate on her stat. He is beyond an excellent Neurosurgeon and has promised Heidi a successful surgery and recovery.

Her scheduled date of surgery is this Tuesday, July 20, 2021

She will take time to recover here in LA, to be at sea level, and allow proper time to rest and recuperate. She will beat this.

One would think that this is enough to face as a single mom but sadly, the story continues.

Heidi’s daughter has also been diagnosed with a brain lesion. She is 12 years old and will need to start doing a multitude of tests, dye contrast MRIs, EEGs, sleep studies, bloodwork all while starting school and having her mom recovering from brain surgery.

Heidi has had to go on medical leave and as many of you know, when you are an independent contractor, there is no pay. So, here we are, humbly asking for help via a GoFund Me.

The expenses of her surgery and recovery will surpass her savings. She is insured but many costs are still beyond expensive.

Costs on top of all medical/surgery costs include temporary relocation, homeschooling, tutors, food, mortgage, and pet care.

Tahoe is an incredible community and always steps up for their Tahoe family.

I will keep you all updated as to how the surgery goes and her weekly recovery.

Heidi was very gun shy about creating this go fund me but as we all know sometimes we need to give up the reins and let others give the help that they would love to give.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping Heidi and Rocky return to living healthy vibrant lives.

Peace to you all.
