Abhijith's Heart Transplant
Donation protected
Family, Friends and Well Wishers,
We are Trying to raise money for Abhijith's Heart Transplant, which came to us as a shock. Everything happened in couple of days with no time to process feelings, emotions and options.
Dharma Vardhan Gattupali is the sole beneficiary of the campaign. He is Abhijith Gattupalli’s own brother. He is responsible to pay for Abhijith Gattupalli’s medication, operations, ICU, regular central unit, medication and prescriptions.
It all started few weeks ago with a cough, it continued to be persistent and began feeling weak and tired after any physical exertion. Him being a high energy , invincible millennial he continued working Until before he was admitted to hospital
He finally went to the doctor’s office where they performed few tests and a chest X-ray where doctors confirmed it to be Bronchitis and left with a prescription of Antibiotics and feeling convinced to be a short recovery.
Despite the Antibiotics, the cough was persistent with shortness of breath. Denver being a high Elevation he decided to go to his friends place for a week thinking he might get better with the change of location. where he visited doctor because he couldn't breathe. After spending two days in the cardiac intensive care unit,the doctors informed him that his heart was only functioning at 10% efficiency and
where more testing was conducted to find the cause. And he was moved to 6 different Hospitals until the doctor's confirmed that he needs a heart transplant.
They took him into surgery and installed a temporary heart pump to keep his other organs from shutting down while they figure out a way forward.
They gave us an estimated wait of six months to a year to find a suitable heart, but also said there’s really just no way to know how long it could take. With All the star's aligned One heart became available last night. He is in surgery as we put up this GoFundme Page , We wish we could do something rather than wiping our tears and being scared for him
We decided to put this page as the road ahead is going to be exceedingly difficult for Abhijith and his family. He can not afford all of the costs he are about to accrue. Life hasn't been easy for Abhijith's family, he lost his father at a very young age. His mother raised two boys, she struggled her way through to get them to America for graduate school with high aspirations
We were happy to see Abhijith's life turned to be rewarding, he has been very keen giving back to his mother and the families in need as he understands the struggles.
One thing hit on several times was that we as friends had to start a crowd fund as soon as possible, because not even the best insurance covers all the unforeseen costs associated with a heart transplant and the life changes that follow. We are coming with our hats in our hands. We made this page on the advice a woman who’s seen many families suffer from the monetary burden of heart transplant surgery and the subsequent treatment. We will do whatever it takes. If you can spare a couple bucks, we would be more than grateful We can possibly ever tell you. If not, we completely understand. Please just keep our Generous Friend in your thoughts and prayers.
