Greenbrier teen awaits heart transplant amid family strain
Sarah Rhodes, 14, from White Sulphur Springs, has rheumatic fever damage to a heart valve and now a severely damaged heart needing a transplant. Doctors at Duke and Roanoke advise urgent transplant with a likely one year wait for a donor. Costs exceed 40 000 annually after recovery with little insurance aid. Family adjustments include shifted work hours and fundraising efforts through bake sales, raffles, and a trust fund at One Valley Bank for The Sarah Rhodes Heart Fund.
