Providing Support for Congenital Heart and Lung Disease Suffers Who Contract COVID-19

In the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 there is an urgent need to provide funds for medical equipment, nursing care, uncovered medical fees, mental healthcare, and other associated supports to the immune compromised suffering from Congenital Heart and Lung Disease. Our foundation, The McKendall Foundation LLC, will serve as a source of help for those who need extra support due to contracting the Coronavirus. Funds for medical equipment, nursing care, uncovered medical fees, mental healthcare, and other associated supports are critical in supporting those who desperately need our help. We will distribute the support among case managers with the local organizations who directly support Congenital Heart and Lung Disease.

The McKendall Foundation Story

My name is Michelle Williams and my beautiful and wonderful daughter born with congenital heart and lung disease due to no fault of her own, and like many, may or may not get medical attention needed if she contracts the infectious COVID 19 virus due to the lack of equipment and facilities. Our children will be placed at the bottom of the priority list due to the lack of necessary medical supplies. There is great concern that those suffering from immune complications will not receive adequate care due to the lack of medical supplies.  We should all be concerned our loved ones may not get the support or care they will desperately need.

About My Daughter’s Diagnosis

My daughter's diagnosis includes an unbalanced atrioventricular canal and hypoplastic left ventricle with a failed Fontan, which was taken down, and she has bilateral bidirectional Glenns as well as lung atriovenous malformation with profound cyanosis and clubbing and a mechanical AV valve. She also suffers from Pulmonary hemorrhages, coil embolization of arteriovenous malformation. In addition, she suffered a massive stroke during her failed Fontan procedure. Current equipment includes a Epicardial pacemaker and defibrillator generator. There are no good surgical options for her except possibly a heart-lung transplant if she deteriorates.  My daughter, like so many suffering from Congenital Heart and Lung Disease, enjoy life just like the rest of us and deserve equal medical treatment in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Thank you so much for your support.
