Julie is in the hospital currently awaiting a new heart! She is at Northwestern downtown Chicago. when she is given the new heart, they will be needing to go down 3 times a week for a while till the doctors give her the all clear. Tim Has been going back and forth from Hampshire to Chicago for over a month, and between Gas and parking, that would take a toll on anyone. They also have the added expense of hotel stays downtown for Tim and the kids as well as Teagan's airfare back and forth to DC. So we started this Hugs page for them to help alleviate some of the financial stress during this time so they can just focus on getting Julie up and running!
