Surgery travel and copay cost
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Krista Sayre Tackett. I am trying to raise funds to help with past year medical funds as well as upcoming surgeries. I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure in 2016 then Llbbb, then Afib and had to have an Ablation on my heart. Dilated Cardiomyopathy and now a 100% blockage in my lower left main artery as well as a 4.4 ml aneurysm in my hearts main artery. This has really taken a toll on our finances as my family has missed work and all the cost of medicine copays (I take 26 pills a day). My heart surgery was $274,663.00 in 2017 and we are still paying on our part that insurance doesn't cover. I've only worked for brief times since my heart attack in May 23' due to ongoing heart problems. I had exploratory surgery last week. I have an upcoming surgery in Lexington at Lexington Baptist Health this Thursday. Lexington is a 2 hour drive from me. My husband has to miss several days work as we have to go the day before and stay in a motel because my appointment is at 6am. They are hoping to clean out a collapsed stent or they will have to do a bypass. Then I have another surgery at the same Lexington hospital 3 weeks later to place a pacemaker. They want me to stay in area for 24hrs afterwards since I'm higher risk. The hospital only offers a 12% off motel coupon. It's the surgery copay, medicine copay, gas for all the back and forth, food, motels, loss of work. Any little amount truly helps and is extremely appreciated!
I've done these for others in the past but never thought I'd have to ask for myself.
