Charles Ogar’s Heart of Gold!
Donation protected
Charles is a full time dance instructor that spends his days sharing his passion and knowledge of kizomba across the world. He has touched the lives of many during his career as a dance instructor. As a community, let us rally around him in his great time of need.
Nearly a decade ago, Charles had a severe case of endocarditis- an infection in the lining of his heart. Unfortunately, his aortic valve was so irreparably damaged that it had to be replaced with a mechanical valve. The infection and subsequent open heart surgery kept him bedridden for 3 months.
While the recovery was difficult, the mechanical valve has served him well until this year. A paravalvular leak was discovered during a routine check up. As a result, he is dealing with high blood pressure, fatigue, shortness of breath, and low ejection fraction.
Charles does not currently have health insurance. Which means that on top of the stressors related to his health, he is facing some potentially daunting financial consequences. Let us help ease his mind about the costs associated with his care so he can focus on getting better. Let's show him our love, our generosity, our gratitude, and the true power of community.
