Latest update as of Sep 01, 2024

  • The chest tubes are starting to come out. Sarah's surgery was only day before yesterday. They are hoping she will be in a lot less pain as they pull the other two chest tubes possibly tomorrow. Sarah is in a lot of pain right now and having some trouble do that. The doctor say she is ahead of where most people are at this point after surgery. She is trying so hard to be positive as the situation came as a total shock. She is continuing to make progress daily.


About this fundraiser

   Sarah was recently diagnosed with both congestive heart failure as well as several blockages in her heart that had to be repaired through open heart surgery. She had been fine a little less than a month ago and so this came as a complete shock her, her family and her friends. Sarah will have to go to a cardiac rehabilitation center for anywhere from several weeks to 7 months. It will be several months until she is able to work again. 

    We are currently trying raise funds or any expenses she may have. Those expenses will come in the way of copays for both her medical appointments and prescriptions as well as for purchasing hygiene products and food Sarah had very little money saved as she was already trying to get back on her feet from another medical injury. 

    Sarah has always been the type of person who would give anyone the shirt off of her back. She has worked with several non-profits in her career as a recovery coach. She has been involved in many street outreach programs across Charleston West Virginia using both her personal as well as her professional time her time to help as many people as possible. 

   If you are able to help us that would be amazing and a very greatly appreciated. If you're unable to donate please share take a moment and share this post so we can reach as many people as possible. Sarah needs to be worrying about our physical health and healing but due to the financial situation she is in she is having a hard time worrying about much else. 

     We just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone in advance for either just reading, donating or just taking the time to share this post!
