Help Give Melissa the Gift of a New Heart

Our family is asking for your prayers and support for Melissa, who has battled heart issues since she was 12 years old (44 years ago). Recently, her doctors shared devastating news; her heart can no longer keep up, and she now needs a heart transplant to survive. This will be her third open heart surgery. 
She recently moved in with her daughter, son-in-law, and 3 grandchildren because she can no longer be left alone. Although her doctors have been preparing for a transplant in the future, no one was prepared for the need to come so quickly. The emotional and financial weight has been overwhelming.
With Melissa being disabled she cannot work. We’re raising funds to help cover any extra medical needs, travel costs to and from Duke University (4 hours away), and living expenses as her situation has quickly changed. 
Every prayer, share, and donation means the world to us. Your support helps give Melissa the chance to keep fighting for her heart, her health, and her family. ❤️

This campaign is run by Amanda Snipes on behalf of Melissa and our family. Melissa's daughter, Haley is my sister-in-law. Melissa has been a big part of my life since I was 15 years old. 100% of funds raised will be given to Melissa and Haley to cover trips to Duke and put toward medical bills and necessities.
