A Daughter's love to help keep my Dad's heart beating.

Southland

Hi, I'm here today to talk to you about the importance of pacemakers for people with sinus node sickness.

Sinus node sickness is a condition that affects the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinoatrial node. The sinoatrial node is responsible for generating the electrical impulses that control the heart's rhythm. When the sinoatrial node doesn't work properly, it can cause a variety of heart problems, including bradycardia (slow heart rate), heart block, and syncope (fainting).

A pacemaker is a small device that is implanted in the chest to help regulate the heart's rhythm. Pacemakers can be life-saving for people with sinus node sickness, and they can also improve the quality of life for many people.

I'm here today to ask for your help in raising funds for a pacemaker for my father who is in the Philippines. Luigi is a 67-year-old retiree who has been diagnosed with sinus node sickness. His heart stops and no medication can help to charge it back up.

The cost of a pacemaker can be expensive, but it's a small price to pay for the peace of mind and improved quality of life that a pacemaker can provide. I'm asking you to please consider donating to my father's pacemaker fund. Any amount you can give will help.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

My Dad is scheduled to be operated on 14 August 2023. Hopefully we could raise even a little bit to cover the initial cost.

The beneficiary is my Dad who I terribly miss. He is a good provider and a loving father. He is my first dance even if he hates dancing, he is my eating buddy and right now I can only do this to help him

Use of funds

As the operation will be in the Philippines, the funds will be sent there to cover cost for operation, medicines and recovery.
