Help me Heal: Support for my heart Surgery and Recover ❤️

Dear friends, family, clients, and kind-hearted strangers,

With a heart full of gratitude and humility, I am reaching out to share my story. About a month ago, I received unexpected news that has changed my life completely. I was diagnosed with a heart condition called PFO which has been causing Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA).This condition brings many difficult symptoms, including sudden fainting spells. My doctors have told me that I need a heart surgery as soon as I can and while this gives me hope for healing, the costs are overwhelming.

This condition has forced me to slow down and take extra precautions to avoid any kind of physical impact. Staying at home has become necessary to minimize the risk of sudden fainting and other complications, but it also means I am unable to work as I normally would, making it hard to cover everyday expenses.

This journey began while I was on vacation in Brazil, where I started experiencing severe migraines with symptoms that mimicked a stroke. It was then that my heart condition was discovered. Since receiving this diagnosis, I’ve been advised to remain in Brazil and prepare for the surgery here.

I am incredibly blessed to have the support of my parents, my family, my boyfriend, and my boyfriend’s family. They have been by my side every step of the way, providing love, comfort, and encouragement. We have been exploring every possible option for my treatment, including seeking help through the public health system in Brazil. However, the waiting list is very long, and time is of the essence, but we are still waiting for something.

I am reaching out to everyone who might be able to help me during this difficult time. Whether it's through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing my story, your support means everything to me. Every act of kindness makes a world of difference and brings me closer to the hope of a healthier future.

Any financial help you can offer will go directly towards my medical expenses and daily costs while I prepare for this life-saving surgery. If you are unable to donate, please know that your prayers and positive thoughts are the greatest gift I could receive. Your support gives me hope and strength to face these challenges.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for me. Your kindness, generosity, and love mean more than words can express.

With all my love and gratitude,

Isabela Berta
