ASD & PAPVR Heart Surgery

Annalina Linehan is 15 and was born with an Atrial Septal Defect, a heart condition in which there is essentially a hole in her heart. As well as Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return, which causes blood to flow into incorrect places, and becomes incredibly inefficient. However, the size of the hole and its location mean it cannot be treated with a cardiac catheter. As of now, her condition has made it difficult to go to school, as there is a growing frequency in sudden fatigue, nosebleeds, and more that cause her to have to go home early. As a result, she's been forced to do virtual school instead of attending a public school with her friends. Even in this situation, she's working as hard as possible, well on her way to graduate from high school early and move on to college as soon as possible.

Anyone who knows her know that she has a great passion in design, art, home decor, music, and more; hoping to one day become an architect, build furniture, and have a ton of pets. Mainly hamsters. She is always kind, and every teacher would express nothing but love and respect for her. She spoils everyone before herself, including her pet hamster, Boyo, mother, and boyfriend.

The treatment is a surgery in which a tube will be made as a bridge for blood to circulate into the right places of the heart. The initial cost of the surgery after insurance is $6,000.

The surgery itself is taking place on January 10, 2019, (yes, we were told rather recently) with a very high success probability, and low probabilities for any potential mishaps. However,  Annalina lives with her single mother in Ocala, Florida, where they rarely get any child support or other financial help, and have little money to spare past rent, food, and electricity/water alone.

Even a single dollar would mean the world to us, but even if you cannot donate, spreading the word would be greatly appreciated.

Without this surgery, Annalina is unlikely to make it much past 30, and would be much better off mentally with the financial support, and can focus on getting her health back up to par, and moving on to college instead of needing to immediately go to work to pay off the medical bills.
