Urgent Heart Surgery for Paul

Hi, my name is Clare, and I’m fundraising for my fiancé Paul to have urgent open-heart surgery. He has both an aortic aneurysm and a bicuspid aortic valve.

For the past ten years, Paul’s condition has been monitored by cardiologists through regular scans. However, after a recent, more detailed scan reviewed by a surgeon, we were shocked to learn that Paul has “been past the threshold for operation for years” and that “the NHS has failed him” due to misread measurements over the past five years.

There are currently no NHS surgery slots available until at least January, but waiting that long is far too dangerous. The surgeon confirmed that this delay poses a serious, life-threatening risk and strongly advised against it.

We have no choice but to go private — with the surgeon recommending surgery in early September — but we simply don’t have the funds.

If you are able to help with a donation, no matter how small, it would mean the world to us and could help save Paul’s life.
