Today, we come to you with a plea for our beloved mother/sister/grandmother, Pamela Kissoon. Just recently, our lives took a devastating turn when Pamela was diagnosed with heart failure. It was a shock to us all when she suffered a heart attack on February 20, 2024.

The doctors swiftly conducted an angiogram, revealing the harsh reality: three out of her four arteries are dangerously clogged at a staggering 90%, and her heart is currently functioning dangerously at only 40%. The only course of action, her doctors emphasized, is immediate open-heart surgery.

Here's where the challenge begins. Our local public hospital, unfortunately, doesn't offer the specialized care Pamela desperately needs. Thankfully, our government provides support through Social Services to help patients access such critical procedures. But there's a daunting hurdle: the waitlist stretches on for what feels like an eternity.

In addition to the emotional strain, there is also a significant financial burden associated with Pamela's medical care. The cost of her surgery and ongoing treatment is substantial, and we are in need of assistance to cover these expenses. We have set a fundraising goal of $40,000 to ensure that Pamela receives the care she needs without added stress or worry.

So, here we are, humbly asking for your support. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to ensuring Pamela's well-being. Your generosity will not only alleviate the financial burden weighing heavily on our family but, more importantly, it will offer Pamela the chance to fight this battle with the strength and dignity she deserves.

Please, join us in this journey of hope and healing. Together, let's raise the $40,000 needed to give Pamela the gift of life-saving surgery. Your kindness will forever be etched in our hearts, and your support will carry us through this challenging time. Thank you for being a beacon of light in our darkest hour.

This message comes from Pamela’s sister, Lauren Kissoon, and her entire family. We are deeply grateful for your generosity, kindness, and unwavering support during this difficult time.

Thank you for keeping Pamela in your thoughts and prayers, and for any assistance you can provide.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Lauren Kissoon and Family
