My name is Nicola, and I am raising funds for my brother who passed away suddenly after surgery. Our family is devastated and still searching for answers.

My brother passed away suddenly after what was supposed to be a routine surgery, and our family is devastated and searching for answers.

He had gallbladder surgery, but shortly after being discharged, something went wrong. His surgical wound reopened, and he had to be rushed back for emergency surgery. After that procedure, we were told he was stable and even expected to be discharged the next morning.

Just hours later, we received the worst call of our lives — he had gone into cardiac arrest and passed away.

We were given different possible explanations, including a sudden heart event or a blood clot, but no one has been able to tell us exactly what happened. We were told an autopsy would help determine the true cause of death, but it was never completed.

Now, the only way for our family to get real answers and peace is through a private autopsy, which costs $3,000.

We are asking for help because we simply cannot afford this on our own.

This is not just about closure — this is about understanding what happened to my brother and making sure nothing was missed.

If you can donate anything, even a few dollars, it truly means everything to us. If you’re unable to donate, please share this with others.

Thank you for supporting our family during this incredibly painful time.
