Aloha, my name is Yhana Smith, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my cousin, John Nicole M. Abanto, a 30-year-old man in urgent need of heart surgery. John has been diagnosed with Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), a serious heart condition that requires an ASD Closure procedure to prevent life-threatening complications.

The surgery will be performed at the Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City under the care of Dr. Kristianne Emmanuelle R. Bagaoisan. The total cost for the procedure, hospital stay, and necessary medical materials is approximately ₱465,898.73 (about $8,176.81 USD), according to the official quotation from the hospital. This includes the ASD Closure device, cardiac catheterization, professional fees, and 2 days in a semi-private room.

Unfortunately, this cost is far beyond what our family can afford. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward saving John’s life. Your support will give him a chance to live a healthy, active life and bring hope to our family during this difficult time.

Please help us reach our goal and share this campaign with others who may be willing to help. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your generosity.

The total cost of John Nicole’s ASD Closure heart surgery at the Philippine Heart Center is approximately ₱465,898 (~$8,177 USD). Here’s a breakdown of the major expenses:
