Mike's Heart Transplant Medical Bills
Donation protected
In the short span of just four weeks, the lives of Mike and Joanny were completely derailed when Mike was diagnosed with a rare heart infection. Being a very healthy person and training for a marathon in the upcoming fall, Mike noticed that he couldn't catch his breath after barely running for 1 minute. This led to doctor visits and, eventually, emergency room trips where they learned Mike had an aggressive form of myocarditis that had already wiped out his entire heart in weeks. Mike had been living in the ICU for weeks while doctors kept his heart working with barely any medication and then moved him to a mechanical heart while waiting for a heart transplant. Luckily, Mike got a new heart and a successful transplant operation and is on the road to recovery. This page exists for those who could help out this family in need while they navigate this life-altering event.
