Our Story

Help Karrie Heal: A Loving Mother Facing Back-to-Back Medical Battles

Karrie is a devoted mother, grandmother, and sister — the heart of her family and the one who’s always shown up for others in times of need. Now, she’s the one who needs support.

Not long ago, Karrie went through a terrifying episode of atrial fibrillation (AFib), which led to the discovery of a rare and dangerous heart condition: a fistula between her left circumflex artery and the superior vena cava. Emergency surgery was her only option, and while the operation was successful, the recovery has been long and incredibly difficult.

Despite the pain and the emotional toll, Karrie pushed through and made it back to work — all while still trying to catch up on the crushing medical bills from her heart surgery.

Then came more devastating news: she now needs a full knee replacement. Another major surgery. Another long recovery. Another stretch of time she’ll be unable to work.

The weight of it all is overwhelming.

Karrie isn’t just battling medical bills. She’s also trying to keep up with rent, car payments, and credit card debt that piled up during her first recovery. She’s doing everything in her power to stay afloat, but the financial strain is growing by the day — and the stress is making it even harder for her to focus on healing.

That’s why we’re reaching out.

We’re asking for your help to give Karrie a chance to breathe, to recover, and to get through this incredibly tough chapter without losing everything she’s worked so hard for.

Karrie

Unfortunately I had more time away from work last week as I went back into Afib and had to be rushed to the ER and cardioverted back into regular rhythm. It was very scary this time as I thought I was having a heart attack. I had just had a check up with my heart Dr the week before and everything was good. 

The good news is is that I am feeling much better and am back to work. I am trying my best to get ahead of these bills but it is so hard. Anything helps and I want to thank Help Me Bounce Back for helping me along this journey!!
