This Nurse’s Heart Needs Your Support

I’ve been very hesitant to share my story and ask for help, but I need your help! As most of my friends and family know, I loved my career as a nurse providing in-home care to medically challenged adults with developmental delays. During February, we had an outbreak of Influenza A and B and Covid-19 among my patients. Well, I wound up very sick with both Influenza A and Covid simultaneously. On March 4th, 2025, I suffered my first Type 2 heart attack from lack of oxygen. I’m lucky and grateful to be alive! My heart has permanent damage, and I’m in stage 3 heart failure. I am on continuous oxygen and now in chronic respiratory failure.

I was released from the CCU with doctor’s orders to not drive or lift more than 5 pounds. I have been unable to work and struggling to maintain my own activities of daily life and keep a positive outlook, only getting by thanks to help from my family and my faith!

On 6/1/2025, I had a second NSTEMI Type 2 heart attack. While hospitalized, I endured many tests showing further damage to my heart. I thank every one of you that took the time to read this, and I’d like to humbly ask that you please say a healing prayer for me! SHARE, SHARE, SHARE even if unable to make a monetary donation. I will use this blessing to help ease my worries and stress over my mounting bills and to cover basic living expenses.

Please hug your loved ones tight and bless and be blessed, my friends and family. Much love for all of you❤️‍

“Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget not all his benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases!” ~ Psalm 103:2-3

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.
