Story
New Fingers & Toes for Mom!
Life is interesting! It takes us in directions we often never imagine we might need to go.
After a 14 hour heart operation where mom, Helen Watson, was given a 15-20% survival rate for the operation, mom has developed severe necrosis in her fingers & toes. At first it was her whole hands and feet that were necrotic & we were initially told that she might loose her hands & lower arms up to the elbows as well as lose her feet up to possibly her knees. Miraculously the necrosis over the last couple of months has moved down her hands and feet. But, she will still sadly loose all 8 fingers (her thumbs are ok) and some toes.
My sister & I have decided to set up this fund raiser to raise funds for new prosthetic fingers & toes for our mom, plus any additional equipment she might need to make her life easier, when she eventually gets home. Any funds remaining will be donated to others with necrosis.
We are already overwhelmed by your Kindness, Love & compassion & are equally grateful for your continued support. We couldn’t have gone this far without you! Thank you, Thank you!
Love is all there is!

6 years agoPositive Vibes Please 🙏🏼 Mom is having her left foot amputated tomorrow. She is totally ok with this and keeps saying: “it is what is.” And: “the vascular surgeon has done everything he can to save the foot, but nothing has worked. If it has to come off, it has to come off.” Her mental strength continues to amaze all of us! 🙏🏼 Thanks for all the Positive Vibes, Love & Support! 🙏🏼💞🙏🏼
