Kellie needs help
Donation protected
Hey everyone, my mom Kellie Veenstra is currently in Royal Jubilee with heart failure. At 3am on December 27 she shook me awake and we called 911. The Tofino hospital determined she has a heart attack and pulmonary embolism and sent her straight to Victoria in medical transport. The doctors determined 2/3 of her arteries are 100% blocked including a previous stint. They put a stint in the open artery. MRI has confirmed the lower part of her heart is dead, and we are working with only 27% function. Her heart is too damaged for surgery, so we a trying drug treatment. So far she isn't responding well to this and doctors are looking at all options.
We need financial support. While my mom is on pension she has been working two part time jobs to make ends meet. My mom is now unable to work her two part time jobs because of her condition. We need help covering her bills: cell phone, internet/cabel, insurance, hydro... etc. If/when she gets out of the ICU we will need help covering the cost of drugs and transportation back home.
Any help you can give us is appreciated, even if it is just sharing this post. E-transfer to me is preferred. She's not able to leave her hospital bed at this time, I'm doing my best to coordinate everything on her behalf.
Thank you everyone
