Support Smily's Fight Against Heart Failure

Donation protected
Smily is a 37-year-old husband and father of three from Selbyville, DE, who has just been diagnosed with end-stage heart failure. He was airlifted from a Delaware hospital to Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. His cardiac team is working diligently to discover why this happened and keep Smily alive. Smily's heart is dangerously enlarged and he is being aided by a temporary mechanical pump. He is functioning at a critical level of only EF 10%, while a normal heart function is EF of 52-72%.

Until now, Smily was healthy and known to help out anyone who needed it and he was just four months into a promising new real estate career. This unexpected situation has turned his entire family of five upside down, and the journey forward will be long, costly, and arduous.

Currently, Smily is in critical condition in the ICU, the medical costs associated with his care are staggering and only increasing by the day. Once home, he will need costly medicine, rehab, and weekly travel will be needed back and forth to Philadelphia for ongoing tests and close monitoring after his fight.

His family also needs to stay afloat while all this is happening. I am asking for your help with this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds and alleviate some financial burden so that he can focus on recovery and returning home. His wife and their three kids cannot be without him, so please consider contributing, no matter how small, to help them reach the target. Every dollar donated will help, and if you cannot donate at this time, sharing this campaign with your network would be immensely helpful. Together, we can help him overcome this challenging situation and show Smily and his family that they are not alone.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for making a difference in the life of a truly remarkable dad, husband, and individual.
