Melanie Rich Medical Expense Fund

On December 28, 2016, Melanie had a heart attack caused by a total blockage in one of the arteries in her heart.  She was taken to the Ronnie Green Heart Center in Gainesville where they put a stent in to hold open the artery, but 30% of the heart muscle was damaged from the heart attack.  The doctors said that the arterial damage was most likely related to the radiation treatments she received years ago when she had cancer.

Unfortunately all this happened a week before her medical insurance was to go into effect at the first of the year.  While some help will be applied for at the hospital, there will still be extensive costs that aren't covered and her multiple medications are needed now.  Since Melanie has spent many years taking care of others, it's our turn now to help take care of her.  Any little bit of help will be so very appreciated and lift her spirits so she can heal.
