Hi my name is Daniel Verdejo. I am in need of a open heart surgery. I'm asking for your help to cover the expenses for the procedure and medications. At this moment I am unable to work due to health problems. God bless you and thanks in advance for your help. I'm not good at writing pleas for help, so my friend helped me out.
From my friend Davo Paul: My friend needs help. Puerto Rico’s friend needs help. My friend, Daniel Verdejo needs open heart surgery and is in dire straits trying to get the pre-pay amount of $6K which is due before his surgery on the 30th of this month. Daniel had no time to prepare for this fiasco financially, he has been ordered to stay home from work due to his heart condition, and now he needs major open-heart surgery. Not too long ago, he moved from Puerto Rico to Florida in search of a better life. It is a good thing he is in Florida on the mainland for this type of surgery. They would have never caught it, had he stayed in Puerto Rico.
This man was a hub in the Puerto Rico hurricane relief efforts and quickly became one of my best friends. He did all the driving, he carried most of the water, he was the right-hand of the operation and much of it could not have been achieved without him.
He had all the hard conversations too. He wasn’t in charge, he wasn’t the boss, he did not have a go fund me but he did ALL the physical work, the ACTUAL hard work, carrying everything, driving for hours every day, losing sleep, not eating all he should have. He never took one dollar. Not one.
He is one of the most selfless men I have ever met in my life and it brings me to tears to know how upset he is over the fact…that he needs your help. He is a proud Puerto Rican and this is the last thing he wanted to ask for. His smile is huge and beautiful and I’d like to see that smile again. His condition is serious but can be fixed.
Please help me, help him. Heather and I are onboard. So let’s go. Where are my people? Send me a message if you are serious and want to help. I’ll get you the info. Please. He doesn’t really know anyone with the financial means to help but I do. He needs us.
We had one ‘1/2 day off’ during the hurricane relief efforts. We felt guilty. Here are some photos from that fun day and some work day pics too. This is it. Where so you stand? You with us? We can help Puerto Rico keep one of it’s greatest assets. And I’d like to keep a friend around. IM me. I have an easy link. Facebook admins? Please don’t hide this post!
