In Support of The Gaffney Family
Help Support Lisa and Her Family Through Recovery
John suffered a massive heart attack and underwent emergency triple bypass surgery. He's alive, and we're incredibly grateful — but the road ahead is long, and his family needs help getting through it.
Lisa has stepped up as John's full-time caregiver. She's managing his appointments, and his recovery — while also holding down her own life.
Caregiving is a second job nobody signs up for, and it comes with real costs: lost wages, travel to specialists, medical bills that insurance doesn't touch, and the everyday expenses that don't pause just because life got hard.

On top of all that, Lisa is still putting her daughter Savannah through college at Middle Tennessee State University. She's carrying her husband's recovery, her daughter's future, and a household — all at once, with no income coming in.
The next couple of months are critical. Cardiac rehab, follow-up care, and a slow, careful recovery all require time, energy, and money — things this family doesn't have to spare right now.
Any amount helps. Whether it's twenty dollars or two hundred, it means Lisa can focus on what matters most: getting John healthy again and keeping Savannah on track.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for caring.
