A Heart in Need Finding a Home & Healing
During Stella Luna’s six-year career with MAA, she and her family were dedicated supporters of the Open Arms Foundation. While she worked for MAA, Stella passionately supported Open Arms with payroll contributions and community fundraising events. At the start of 2023, Stella noticed some changes in her health. A few months later, she learned that she needed a heart transplant, which sadly necessitated her leaving her MAA position.
The transplant also meant that she would need to temporarily move closer to her treatment team and hospital pre-transplant. Due to her extensive work and knowledge of Open Arms, she thought to reach out to the MAA teams that she had worked with over the years to see if she would qualify for an Open Arms home.
“As someone who had the privilege of working with Open Arms and MAA in the past, helping with fundraising, “ says Stella, “I never imagined that one day I would be on the receiving end of the incredible assistance you offer.”
