EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP THIS HEART ATTACK VICTIM
Donation protected
Unfortunately throughout this terrible time. Luis was laid off while in the hospital. This is for a hardworking man who unfortunately suffered a severe heart attack. Also it was asymptomatic. Luis worked through it as his body was suffering and attempting to recover. Luis was born with a heart murmur and has been suffering from heart issues since May. He is lucky to be alive. Before going to the hospital and getting the proper medical diagnosis he went almost 3 months not knowing he had a heart attack. After seeing many doctors it has been brought to light he was told he was told he needed a mechanical valve to save his heart and life. Unfortunately he is unable to work his heart being only at 50% functionality and declining. Surgery was a success.
The next step is at home nurse, physical therapy, medication‘s, that have to be taken for the rest of his life. He went from starting a new job and a new chapter to having a heart attack. It was asymptomatic so he pushed and went to work. But unfortunately none of us are indestructible. It tore him down day by day until he could not get off the floor and was drowning on his own bodily fluids. After making plenty of visits to various specialists and doctors we found out he needed to replace a valve. It was literally killing him slowly with every heartbeat.
He finally met a surgeon who then told me that hes had this valve issue for 12 years.
Unfortunately disability was denied. Also Luis is struggling to get by. This entire experience took a toll on him. He can only walk short distances and eat healthy foods. He is on blood thinners and blood pressure medication the rest of his life. He just sits at home restricted
due to his bones healing and is only able to leave to see his doctor and specialist. If you do not donate please share. He’s young and at the age of 35 he was in intensive care. Please share and support a good man that unfortunately had this terrible condition slow down his life and almost took him from his family. Thank you and take care of yourselves.
