Heather's lungs

While in high school I met a dear friend of mine, he name is Heather. She is the most caring, loyal and heart felt person I have ever met. Her smile is contagious and can light up the room. She has two caring and devoted parents who welcomed me into their home with open arms. She also has a brother named Justin, who was the life of the party, he always made me laugh! Her family would give you the shirt of their back, anything of theirs is yours.

Now Heather is in need of help. This was taken from her website Heatherslungs.com.

"In mid March 2012 Heather was diagnosed with "Constrictive Bronchiolitis", the very disease that took her brother 8 years ago. Today Heather has started the process to qualify for the Lung Transplant List. The testing is brutal and her reality is unimaginable. She is staring down a situation with full knowledge and experience of what the possible outcome could be. The cost of this procedure is pushing towards 1 million dollars with an annual maintenance cost of $30,000.00. Although Josh has a great job with medical benefits, the out of pocket cost is staggering. Living in a house John and Janna had to walk away from and the bank could take back at any time, the future is not so clear."

No parent should ever have to lose a child, I cannot imagine the fear they must have now. Heather has an amazing supportive husband and two small children. Please take a minute and go look at her website Heatherslungs.com or like the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HeathersLungs. Prayers, well wishes and donations are much appreciated. Bracelets can be purchased for $5 each! Anything helps.



Everyone deserves to take a deep breath.
