Help Dani access life-saving heart surgery.

Hello, most of you reading will know me as Rolando. I'm putting together this fundraiser to help raise money for heart surgery for my mum (Dani).

2025 has been off to a rocky start for Dani with a diagnosis early in the year of underlying heart disease involving valve issues and artery blockage. Untreated, the long term outlook stemming from these issues is terrible.

Having lost my dad (and Dani's husband, Alan) to a long battle with cancer just a few years ago, the prospect of losing my last remaining parent and my son being robbed of the opportunity to get to know his grandmother has been absolutely shattering to come to terms with.

There is hope however. Surgery is available to address these issues and the prognosis, if we can get it organised in time, is very good.

Unfortunately treatment options in Indonesia are limited so surgery will need to be completed either in Singapore or Australia. As Dani is not an Australian citizen and lacking insurance and financial support from my dad, most of the burden of financing her treatment now fall on me. With a family of my own to support, this has been a pretty tough time and I was suggested to go for a fundraiser as a way to help alleviate some of the stress that's come with taking on this responsibility so far.

Those of you who know Dani will know that she has tirelessly put her community ahead of herself and gone above and beyond to make sure those around her are taken care of, typically at the detriment of her own personal financial well-being. We are hoping the community around her can now rally together to support her with what they can in this time of need.

Donating to this cause will help support the direct costs of surgery, hospital fees and additional costs incurred as part of post-operative care and rehabilitation required from the major surgery she is about to undertake.

Any donation is immensely appreciated and if you're not in a position to donate at the moment I'd be equally grateful for a share of this to your network as well
