🌟 A Father's Last Hope: Please Save My Child's Vital Organ...
🙏💔
Dear Friends, Brothers, and Sisters... 🥰❤️🙏
My name is David Rodrigues de Souza, a 31-year-old single parent residing in Camden, New Jersey, USA. (I invite you to look at our photo gallery to know us better, and also a video I made that summarizes my appeal for help.) But back to our story, the reason I am telling our story here today is because, I am urgently seeking assistance for my son Solomon, who, at just 9 years of age, is struggling with Congenital Heart Disease: Myocarditis. This condition refers to the inflammation of the heart muscle, often secondary to viral infections, which can result in significant cardiac dysfunction and may lead to sudden cardiac arrest if immediate surgical intervention is not undertaken. Without the needed support for necessary surgical procedures, his cardiac function may cease permanently, depriving me of this way, the only reason I have to live...
A brief overview of our circumstances:
Orphaned at a young age, I was raised by elderly adoptive guardians who devoted their lives to my care under conditions of deprivation. I took on work as a laborer to provide sustenance. Following their passing, I experienced profound isolation until I wed. Unfortunately, after the birth of Solomon, my spouse betrayed our family unit and departed, shattering our lives. For years, I have been Solomon's sole caregiver, nurturing him through his suffering with affection.
Now, we are facing another devastating challenge. Solomon's cardiac function is deteriorating. Medical professionals have indicated that he is at imminent risk of heart failure without timely surgery. I have engaged in fervent prayers, shed tears, and liquidated all personal assets. Yet, I find myself still lacking $12,693,96 to proceed.
You are our last hope...
Imagine the dread of potentially losing your only son, or daughter. The powerlessness, the remorse, the solitude... If I could trade places with my son, if I could steal his illness for myself, I would do it in a heartbeat! But as this is unfortunately not possible, I ask you on my knees: Help us restore my son's health and life through this surgery.... 😭 Together, we can salvage his life!
Every contribution, regardless of the size, will bring us closer to preserving his existence.
Though I am the adopted son of late guardians, I have no relatives to rely upon, and due to current indebtedness, I am unable to acquire loans. The minimal funds available to me are only sufficient to secure medication and treatment necessary for a brief survival extension, but when these resources are depleted, we will be in dire straits! Desperate for hope, I discovered this platform designed to fundraise for multiple causes, and I felt compelled to recount our story in a genuine and urgent plea for my son's life... 🙏
Apart from divine intervention, I can only place my faith in the kindness of those who possess benevolent spirits. Our life's tribulations have been great, and my most cherished asset is now at risk; thus, I fervently pray that God stirs compassion in the heart of anyone who encounters my plea. Understanding the value of saving a life, even that of a stranger, can be transformative through the lens of empathy, reinforcing how a simple act of kindness can prevent a father from enduring the unthinkable loss of his child... I express my gratitude to all who have read this far; I understand that many may turn away from my request, yet I continue to beseech God for a "Good Samaritan" who may come to our aid... ❤️🙏
Thank you for your consideration, and may divine blessings be upon you all...
Sincerely:
David Rodrigues
