Help Blake smile again

Hello my name is Sandra Timmins and I would like to introduce you to my god son, Blake DaSilva. I am reaching out in hopes to raise some money so Blake can get a much needed root canal and crown.
Here is a little back story on Blake...As a kid, Blake was active and healthy and was an amazing soccer player and had dreams of going pro. When he was 17, a virus attacked his heart and he required open heart surgery to repair a leaky valve. At 22 years of age he had to have another open heart surgery to have his mitral valve replaced with a mechanical valve. He now needs a 3rd open heart surgery to replace his aortic valve which has a severe leak but no date has been set.
The root canal needs to be done by a specialist because of Blake being on blood thinners. When Blake had his wisdom teeth out, which was performed at Mount Sinai hospital, he had serious bleeding and almost required a blood transfusion.
Blake needs this procedure as soon as possible because of the risk of endocarditis which is when bacteria can go straight to the heart and can be fetal.
With the stress of paying back students loans, rent, and medications; Blake does not have the funds needed to pay for this procedure.
I know these are troubling times but any little bit will help and it would be much appreciated. Shares would also be much appreciated.
