My mom was born with a heart defect....a hole in her mitro valve which she had open heart surgery for at 5-6 years old...fast forward with a multitude of heart issues since, most recently, she had to have a pace maker put in last month. Now, Thursday May 29th she is having open heart surgery again, this time to replace her mitro valve and possibly her aortic valve as well and a long road to recovery...my parents are the very best people I know and have met in my life...they are both so giving and caring but are pretty private people and I might catch a little grief for making this page but takes a village...right? Her and my dad take care of each other and I know it's going to take a toll on them not only emotionally but financially as well...so any and all help is so so so very much appreciated.

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo
