Urgent heart surgery for Anthony Lepore Sr.
Donation protected
Hi everyone! My name is Abby and I've started this fundraiser on behalf of my dad, Anthony Lepore Sr (however you may know him as Tony), who needs urgent open heart surgery within the next 30 days.
Within the last 3 weeks, he was let go from his job working in maintenance for an apartment complex. The circumstances regarding his termination are suspicious at best. He recently requested time off for cardiological testing, and within a few days he was terminated. Losing his job means he has also lost access to his healthcare coverage. He does not collect disability currently, and he does not yet meet the age requirement to be covered under Medicare, as he is only 61 years old.
His cardiology appointments have revealed the worst outcomes. He had two blockages in his legs, and four blockages in his heart. On October 25th, 2024 he underwent surgery to place stents in the two blockages in his legs - however his cardiologist and surgeon explained that he will also need open heart surgery, a quadruple bypass, within the next month. Otherwise, he is a devastating heart attack waiting to happen.
To anyone that may be reading this, or to those who may not know my dad, Tony is an amazing husband, father, uncle, brother, and grandparent. This is a man who has worked incredibly hard his entire life to provide for his family, never once complaining at the curveballs life often throws at us, he only buckles down and works harder. He is the most selfless, genuine person that I have the privilege to call my dad and my role model. He is the type of person to bend over backwards to help anyone in need - strangers, family, and friends alike.
Even as I'm writing this, I keep having to remind him to sit down and rest, that he shouldn't be up trying to help anyone with anything while recovering from his first surgery. In addition to being a hardworking, selfless provider - he's kind, funny, and a joyous light in the lives of his family and friends. It may sound cliché, or maybe a little hard to believe, but I have never come across a single person who has met my dad and didn't instantly like him. He's a little silly sometimes, and a smart ass most of the time, but that's what makes him who he is.
Your generous support is needed to help with the cost of medical bills that can no longer be supplemented through insurance, as his coverage through his place of employment ends as of October 31st, 2024. It will also help with the cost of household bills such as mortgage payments, electricity bills, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about the truly wonderful man my dad is, and with humble and gracious hearts, my family and I sincerely thank you for any donation you may be able to give.
