About Me

I am a 27 year old female from Boone North Carolina and I need to raise money for a Heart Transplant. At the age of 24 I had a heart attack which damaged the back side of my heart. The doctors that looked after me did not think that I was sick from a heart attack because of my age, so they were looking at different diagnosis. It took 8 doctors and 6 months for them to tell me that my heart was severely damaged. Due to the heart attack, I have cardiomyopathy (enlargement of the heart muscle), congestive heart failure (a fast irregular heart beat), and I have an AICD implant. The AICD is a defibulator and pace maker all in one which helps my heart stay at a healthy rhythm.I am currently unable to work, so I could use all the help that you are able to give. The transplant itself is around $365,000 and then after the transplant I will need to pay for medications which are $60,000 a year, cardiac rehab, and doctor visits with routine test. I have to raise at least $20,000 before the operation. Duke University will be doing the operation and my pre and post evaluations. Please keep me in your thoughts and thank you for the support!Please send all Donations to: The Anita Trivette Heart Transplant Fund, P.O. Box 16688, Wilmington N.C., 28408.
