A New Heart for Bill
Donation protected
August 28, 2023 Update
So Gretchen had emergency surgery early this morning (3:30am) to remove her appendix. She will be out of work for at least a week.
Would you please consider donating and or getting them gift cards to help them out.
Bill is still holding strong. Lacy recently had knee surgery. Kyra is back at college. So this is gong to be a hard recovery.
Thank you to those who have already donated!!
Please feel free to message me if you have any questions
Deb (Gretchen's Sister)
Please join me in helping Bill and Gretchen cover their monthly expenses while Bill rest, heals and waits for his heart transplant.
Bill was hospitalized after a 'routine' heart cath. His heart was not improving on his current meds so they changed them and got him stabilized. Bill is home now, but has a long road ahead of him
Gretchen was able to apply and receive FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) however Virginia does not participate in the salary reimbursement part of it and her salary pays the bills. Their monthly expenses are close to $2500 and that doesn't include food and gas.
Gretchen is preparing to take time off to help him to get to all his testing and ready for his transplant while still parenting 3 kids.
Kyra leaves for her senior year at college mid August, Lacy starts her senior year of high school this fall and Thomas is entering into 7th grade and he requires intense therapies.
We have a meal train started, this go fund me and you can always send donations/gift cards directly to them.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly for their contact info or other ways you can help out.
