    I am sharing an update on Michelle Liles as she continues her heart transplant journey.
    Michelle currently has about one month left on her heart device battery, with only a small emergency reserve remaining. She’s been experiencing more difficult days than good ones lately, but continues to face everything with strength and grace.
    If you know Michelle, you know she never slows down — always caring for her kids, attending football and softball events, and supporting everyone around her. Over the past couple of weeks, she’s had to miss meetings, games, and practices to rest. It’s been getting harder for her to keep up her usual nonstop pace.
    Still, her heart remains focused on making every moment count with her children. She continues to give everything she has so her kids can experience the best of her love, time, and energy.
    If you’re able to help, please consider donating to her medical fundraising page below. Every contribution makes a difference, and if you can’t give right now, sharing this post in your groups and communities helps just as much.

    Thank you for the continued love, prayers, and support for Michelle and her family. 💜


About this fundraiser

Michelle Liles is a wife and mother of 5 amazing children.  Most of you know her from the Queen Creek Bulldog football family where she has dedicated many hours volunteering for our boys.  She’s the one who always has a smile on her face and a kind word of encouragement for every one of our boys!  
 

Michelle is currently inpatient at Mayo Hospital and is in need of a heart transplant.  For the past 5+ years, she has maintained with the help of a pacemaker and defibrillator, multiple trips to Mayo and almost daily labs. Over the past several months, her condition has continued to deteriorate to the point where she is now inpatient.  
 

The financial repercussions of this inpatient stay, heart catheter procedures, the additional expenses that are incurred with any inpatient stay and the lack of income from Michelle’s job, plus the reduced income from Pierre’s job, will inevitably be devastating if they don’t receive help from our community! 
 

This family has given generously in many ways without expectations of reciprocation. Asking for or allowing people to help does not come easy for them. They are a family of survivors!  Let’s show this family they are not alone in this transplant journey and help alleviate some of Michelle’s stress, worry and fear where we can!  Thank you in advance for any financial support and for all the prayers sent for this family!
