Anibal Ordaz hasn't added a story.
The Problem
Anibal Ordaz is 68 years old and suffers from a disease known as severe Aortic Valve Stenosis. This condition happens when the heart's aortic valve narrows. The valve doesn't open fully, which reduces or blocks blood flow from the heart into the main artery (aorta) and to the rest of your body. This condition has no treatment and dramatically reduces the life of the patient at an accelerated rate.
The Solution
Since there is no treatment the only solution is to replace the valve through surgery. And although this procedure is relatively simple, it is highly expensive. And with the current state of Venezuela (My father's country of residence), and the lack of any kind of health care it is impossible for an average family to raise the necessary funds to pay for this kind of surgery. My sisters and I have been doing all we can to collect the money by ourself but even after months of savings, it is still not enough. My father's health and deteriorating day by day so we decided to ask for help in order to get his surgery as soon as possible.
Who is Anibal Ordaz?
My dad is a happy man with a deep love for life. For many years he worked as a baseball coach in Criollitos de Venezuela, he was the founder of the minor baseball school "Azulejos" where he trained hundreds of children who found in sports a place to have healthy fun and discover their talent.
My father is also a family man, during his whole life he worked hard to raise my sisters and me and made sure we had food and education. Thanks to his hard work and sacrifice we were able to graduate and secure stable jobs that in return now help us take care of him, my mother and the whole family.
Unfortunately, this surgery proved to be beyond all of us, and despite our efforts, his condition is getting worst by the day. We need to get him operated on as soon as possible.
You can be a Hero
This surgery is expensive but I believe that little by little we can get enough to pay for it and give my father a chance to live a long and healthy life. It doesn't matter if you can't give much. There's no such thing as too little. Any amount, even a dollar can make a difference.
So I thank you in advance for your help and God bless you. I know that together we can make this happen and help my father have his surgery.
