Donation protected
Hi,
My name is Lauren and I am fundraising for my friend Heidi’s daughter, Riley. About a week ago she was admitted to the hospital with what started as strep throat. On Tuesday her symptoms got worse and she was admitted to the ICU with myocarditis. She had a procedure to remove the fluid around her heart and doctors are still working on removing fluid build up in her lungs. She has made some improvements but still has a sick heart, lungs, and kidneys. I am asking for you to donate what you can since Heidi and Jason have been out of work to take care of Riley it would be nice to have some help with these medical expenses.
