Help Save My Father’s Life – Urgent Heart Surgery Needed

Good evening everyone,

My name is Latoya Forrest, and today I am humbly reaching out for help on behalf of my father, Martel Kerr, who currently lives in Jamaica. He is 76 years old, a loving father, grandfather, and a man who has spent his life working hard, caring for others, and never asking for anything in return. Today, however, his life is in jeopardy — and we can’t face this battle alone.


❤️ What Happened

On August 15th, 2025, our family received news that my father had suffered a mild heart attack. We prayed, we hoped, and we believed he would recover. But over the last few weeks, his condition has taken a frightening turn.

Doctors have now confirmed that his heart is functioning at less than 50% of its normal capacity. His condition is critical, and time is running out.


⚠️ Why We Need Urgent Help

We were informed that my father must undergo life-saving heart surgery no later than Tuesday, November 26th. Without this surgery, the outcome is uncertain — and every day poses a serious risk.

Right now, we don’t know what tomorrow will bring. The fear of losing him has shaken our entire family. This surgery is his only chance.


The Reality

The cost of his medical care and surgery is far beyond what our family can afford. As much as it breaks us to ask, we are in desperate need of financial assistance to give my father the chance to live — to laugh again, to hold his grandchildren, and to see another birthday.


How You Can Help

No amount is too small. Every donation, every share, and every prayer brings us one step closer to saving his life.

Your support could mean:
• One more day with our father
• One more chance at recovery
• One more miracle for our family

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and your willingness to help in this painful moment. We appreciate you more than words can express.

May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and support.

With love and gratitude,
Latoya & Family
