After surviving a heart attack thanks to the intervention of two nurses, a GoFundMe has been launched for Meals on Wheels volunteer Nancy Pinney to help with medical and gallery bills.
“As all of who know Nancy Pinney know she is the most altruistic, generous and deeply kind person you could ever meet,” according to the GoFundMe post. “Her tireless work in the Connecticut River Valley delivering Meals on Wheels and developing relationships to the housebound members of our community, and organizing a really special Christmas delivery every year making sure everyone feels they have somebody looking out for them.”
It was “whilst hosting the First Friday event at Chester Gallery” that Pinney suffered a massive heart attack, according to the GoFundMe post. Thanks to the quick actions of two nurses in attendance, she managed to survive and make it to the hospital for surgery. She is now in the recovery process, according to the post.

“At the best of times making ends meet is difficult, and keeping the gallery open can be a constant struggle,” according to the GoFundMe post. “While she recovers from this massive heart attack, covering medical expenses and gallery bills will help keep her business running and give Nancy some peace of mind.”
“Donations will help with medical bills and keeping the gallery open while Nancy recovers. Help us do that for her with a donation today,” the post went on to say. “Any support or share means so much for someone who has given so much to others.”
The GoFundMe is close to its $40,000 goal, currently sitting at $37,045, according to the fundraiser. Readers looking to donate can do so here.
