Helping with Bruce Bradshaw's Heart❤️

Hi, Friends and Family -

As many of you know, Bruce has been experiencing ongoing struggle with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Congestive Heart Failure. His initial diagnosis 20+ years ago has shown varying degrees of health/function/complication and, now ... Bruce’s heart is completely giving out on him.

Essentially, his heart is too weak to pump blood throughout his body. Additionally, and unexpectedly, they were given the recent news that the above situations are, at this time, requiring that he remain admitted to Cleveland Clinic until his transplant. As with these kinds of acute situations, his prescribed needs and care are still evolving daily. And, it doesn't seem very hopeful yet.

The emotional toll for Bruce and Tina (and Jake, and family!) is immeasurable, as you can imagine. In fact, Tina had to undergo her own heart surgery this past summer during a time of another one of Bruce's hospital stays; it’s been a tough year for the Bradshaws!

Of course Tina wants to stay by his side each day, so the ongoing financial burden of staying in Cleveland, as well as mounting medical bills, will only become heavier as the reality of Bruce's indefinite (until transplant) hospital stay is setting in. This page has been set up to help mitigate the overwhelming financial burden that this has been and will continue to be for Bruce and Tina. All funds raised will go directly to them.

If you are in a place to give financially, they'd be grateful for anything you can contribute. Most importantly, your thoughts and prayers are powerful, so please keep them coming!
