Please help ALVIN BACHAN (also known as IVAN) WITH LIFE-SAVING HEART SURGERY !!

Alvin Bachan is a loving husband grandfather and family man who urgently needs heart surgery to save his life. At 60 years old, Ivans health has deteriorated to the point where everyday things like breathing comfortably sleeping through the night, or spending time with his grandchildren have become a struggle.

The surgery he needs is vital and cost approximately £10,000, which is far beyond what Ivan and his wife can afford on their own.

My name is Monica Hart. I am setting up this GoFUNDME on behalf of my nephew Ivan who lives in Jamaica. Jamaica is not currently supported by GoFUNDME, so Ivan and his wife have asked me to organise this fundraiser for them.

I want to reassure all donors that 100% of the funds raised will be transferred directly to Ivan to help cover his medical expenses. Funds will be sent via bank wire transfer or Western Union.

Ivan lives with his wife and their four young grandchildren, who depend on him both emotionally and practically. He is a devoted husband and a deeply caring grandfather. Due to Ivan's worsening health, neither he or his wife is currently able to work, placing enormous financial and emotional strain on the family. Alongside his heart condition, Ivan also suffers from serious eyesight problems that requires surgery, but he has been unable to afford treatment.

In November 2025 Ivan became seriously unwell, experiencing severe difficulty breathing and sleeping. He initially visited a doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis, but the medication provided did not help. As his condition worsened, he sought a second opinion and was referred to the hospital, where he was admitted for further testing. Doctors discovered that Ivan had suffered a heart attack. He remained in hospital for a week before being discharged with medication.

Following this Ivan consulted a private heart specialist (which was funded by the family), and underwent further tests. He has now been diagnosed with Ischemic heart disease, resulting to a weakened heart, medically described as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This is a serious and life-threatening condition that requires urgent surgical intervention.

Ivan has always been someone who puts his family first. Now, he and his loved ones are facing an incredibly frightening time, unsure how they will manage without help. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference. If you're unable to donate please consider sharing this page so it can reach others who maybe able to help.

Ivan's son passed away due to kidney disease leaving him and his wife to take care of his children.

Thank you so much for your kindness, compassion and support.
