Open hearth surgery

Donation protected
Dear all, my name is Andres Gil and I am raising money for an open-hearth surgery to save the life of “tata”, my lovely aunt. Her name is Gladys aleyda canonico. She lives in Venezuela, in a small town called “San Juan de Los Morros.” She is the mother of four daughters, a loving grandmother, a devoted wife, and an animal lover. In November 2018, my aunt was diagnosed with mild aortic stenosis, which became severe in less than a year. Now, she needs an open-hearth surgery to replace her hearth valve. Currently she is not able to perform basic life functions and is at risk of sudden death.  Venezuela is a socialist country living a humanitarian crisis. The minimum salary is  ~$6USD per month and inflation was measured at over4000% last September. All supplies and medications needed for the surgery must be imported from other countries, increasing the price tag. In order to carry out the surgery, my family needs to raise $22,000 USD. The money will be spent in medical procedures $2k,( i . e Doppler echocardiography), Heath valves $7K, surgery $12k, and recovery $1k. I need your help saving my aunt’s life. If you could support my GoFunfMe by making a donation and then sharing it with your network, I would greatly appreciate it. I realize money can be tight so please know that any amount will help my family get closer to save my aunt’s life. Let me know if you have any questions and I will answer them.
