Pasi Heinonen is a Massage Therapist from Finland with a love for his family and photography.

Unfortunately, he has been out of work for a month, since the second week of October. He had grown ill, and it began to progress into something worse. On October 30th, he was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with pneumonia, pulmonary embolism (PE), and heart failure. His pneumonia has gotten better; however, he currently still has pulmonary embolism and blood clots all over his lungs.

After receiving many treatments and tests, his ejection fraction (EF) is functioning at 30% when it should be 50% to 70%. When he was first admitted, his EF was at 20-25%. Now, the doctors have informed him he will have to wear a life vest for three months, which is meant to stop any abnormal heart rhythm without him going back to the hospital by sending a shock to the heart.

The insurance he has doesn't cover any amount of the device, and he will have to pay $3,000 a month out of pocket for three months. The doctor will not release him from the hospital without the device on him.

If you are able to donate any amount, it would be a huge help to our family. If you can't donate, which is understandable, if you could share this with anyone willing or able to donate and pray for him, it would truly mean so much to us. Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,

The Heinonen Family
