Help Papa Get the Life-Saving Heart Surgery He Needs!

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I'm reaching out to you today asking for your support for someone who is loved by many—my dad, who many of you know as Papa.

Papa has been diagnosed with a heart condition that requires open heart surgery within the next 4-8 months. This procedure isn't just recommended—it's essential to save his life and give him the chance to continue being the loving, caring person we all cherish. The condition is called Mitral Regurgitation, where the valve in the heart does not close properly, allowing blood to flow backwards. If left untreated, his Doctors predict it will lead to heart failure. The valve will either need to be repaired to replaced, but they won't know until they perform the surgery.

His insurance company has denied coverage for this life-saving surgery, because it's related to a pre-existing condition. This leaves our family facing all of the medical expenses that we cannot manage alone.

What We're Raising Money For:

  • Open heart surgery and associated medical costs
  • Hospital stay and recovery expenses
  • Travel costs for me to be with Papa in Thailand during this critical time, providing him with the family support he needs before and after surgery

How You Can Help:
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to giving Papa the fighting chance he deserves. Whether it's $5 or $500, your contribution will make a real difference in his life and our family's future. Also, please consider making a small donation on a monthly basis as we do have a little bit of lead time.

If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Sometimes the person who can help is just one share away.

Papa has given so much love and support to so many people throughout his life. Now we're asking you to help us give back to him when he needs it most.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read Papa's story and for any support you can provide. Your kindness means the world to our family during this difficult time.

With gratitude and hope,
Alexa Davis

Updates on Papa's condition and surgery will be shared regularly with all supporters.
