Jason Martens' Heart Surgery

Hi my name is Jennifer, I'm making this Go Fund Me to help pay for my brother's heart surgery. Jason's aortic valve was not fully formed at birth, and this has led to complications as an adult. He has an aortic aneurysm, and will need a new aortic valve, and synthetic aorta. We entrusted our Canadian heart surgeons to keep watch on his condition, and schedule surgery when the time was right. But as

it turns out, they've waited until now to tell him his life expectancy is 1 year and surgery is unavailable for 2-3 years. We could not be more infuriated with our health care system, and will be going out of country for this surgery ASAP.

I am asking for financial help for Jason to pay the medical bills, travel expenses, and to support his family while he is unable to work.

Jason is a husband to Judy, and father to four beautiful children, Ezra, Sofia, Ivan and Jace. Together they live in Eden, Ontario. He is extremely loved and deserving of the best medical care. We are incredibly grateful for any amount donated. Thank you.
