Help fix my heart
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am fundraising to help with travel expenses for a heart surgery. Two years ago I ended up in the hospital with heart attack like symptoms. The Dr performed an angiogram, and it was discovered that I have a congenital heart defect called a myocardial bridge. A myocardial bridge is where your LAD artery runs through your heart instead of lying on top of the heart. So, everytime my heart pumps, that artery is getting compressed. This creates a lack of blood and oxygen getting to where it needs to go. I live with constant chest pain, shortness of breath, tachycardia, and the possibility of sudden death. I have been trying numerous different medications while waiting for the approval for heart surgery "unroofing". I am in Washington state and will need to travel to Stanford University for this surgery. I am required to be there for 3 weeks. So, I am asking for help with lodging and travel expenses. Anything helps. Thank you for reading.
