Please help me! "My daughter could die without a Heart Transplant"



Danielle is a 24 year old single mother who needs to have a Heart Transplant. In 1984 my husband, her father died of Congestive Heart Failure and Danielle was diagnosed with the same life taking condition. She was attending college in Atlanta Georgia, when she was diagnosed with this condition this year in February 2006. I brought her home to get her medical help here in Denver. She has been in and out of the hospital several times and in intensive care for 4 weeks at one time. Just like the John Q movie that Denzel Washington stared in Danielle is not eligible for insurance. She applied for SSI and was approved in July of this year and was able to receive Medicaid which took care of her medical bills and medication. This month she received a letter from the Social Security Office stateting that she was no longer eligible for SSI and that she was eligible for Disability. Well, disability does not give her any medical benefits, so therefore she is not eligible for Medicaid and now has no health coverage.

Danielle's doctors were hoping Medicaid would cover her heart transplant because they have her approved to go on the transplant list but without any health benefits they are unable to list her. Her transplant will cost anywhere between $100,000 to $500, 000 dollars, depending on the severity of the transplant.

Danielle has a 2 year old son and she can not take care of him due to her existing condition. His father and grandparents that live in Savannah GA are taking care of him. If we don't get some kind of help she will not live to see him grow up to be a young man. But with God's will and your help she can live, to be a blessing and a living testimony to others.

My name is Sheryl Conner, and I am her mother and advocate. I am writing this letter to see if there is a way you can endorse her. We want to get donations and start fundraisers; we need help from you, the media and corporations. I am working two jobs to help pay her medical bills and my two sons have moved in to help with me with Danielle's care and expenses. If I could have ten thousand jobs I would do it to save my daughter life. This is a mother's worse night mare.

This can be verified through the University Of Colorado Hospital by Dr. Andreas Breike or Mona Cantu, NP, in the Congestive Heart Failure Clinic.

We are putting a fundraiser together to be held in the next 2-3 weeks. Looking for a $3,000 donation for Entertainment, Food and Venue.

Please call (303) 435-1723 for more information
