Amy's New Heart

Amy's New Heart Transplants are life saving but financially draining. Even with insurance, Amy is facing very high expenses. A heart transplant is her only hope for survival.

Amy Prince fought a winning battle against cancer– a non-hodgkins lymphoma located in her chest cavity– 16 years ago. The battle was tough and the chemotherapy and radiation treatments were nearly fatal to her but she came out a survivor. Now, a decade and a half later, her heart has shown the long-term effects of this chemo treatment and has developed multiple points of failure. Amy grew up in Turner and graduated from Levitt Area High School. She went on to explore her world via Farmington Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, California and finally back to Maine. She was engaged to Chris Pillsbury, until she came home from rehab, when he then dumped her for a younger model who made more money than Amy. Amy and her family are committed to seeing her through this transplant. Amy is one of the kindest people you’d ever hope to meet with an appetite for laughter like no other. But her health is no laughing matter. She needs our help. The cost of a transplant can be overwhelming. Even with insurance, Amy is facing very high expenses including relocation for months into Brigham & Women’s Hospital, post-transplant medications of up to $1,200 a month, co-pays, lab fees and more. To help with the financial burden of Amy’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a contribution to her cause.

UPDATE:
New news
Working towards decannulation(getting my breathing tube taken out)
*Have a new tank accessory that only gives me oxygen when I breathe in, rather than continuously. Saves oxygen and helps my tanks last longer(almost twice as long!!!).
*Have been dropping trache sizes steadily for a while now. Last trache change (2days ago) brought me to a size 5 where I have been for two changes now. Next change will be to a size 4 in January, and then around March, I am hoping to be able to have it out completely!! But, don’t hold your breath for it, because it may wind up being later than that by a bit. But 2025 is going to be MY YEAR!!!!!
I will hopefully be swimming by my birthday!!!! (August)

Love this!!

“And what should I do when the darkness becomes too much to bear?”

“Picture the person or thing that you love most in the world, and how it feels to be with them. Let their presence comfort you, then let the feeling of the love you have for them wash over you completely, until all of the fear, pain and worry begins to fade away. And then the darkness stands no chance.”

The older we grow, the quieter we become and the less drama we engage in. Life humbles us gradually as we age. We realize how much nonsense we've wasted time on.
