It is crazy in this country that an 18 year old kid is set to die because he has no money. Whatever happend to charity care? Surely, something can be done for this kid.

If I had the money to donate and save this kid, I would. Unfortunate that I can’t I have done some reasearch and I hope that someone here that has the ability to reach out and do something for this kid. Now I am no doctor, but Im sure that there are other ways to help Juan than just sitting back and watching him suffer. Not all patients with a heart deficiency needs a heart transplant. The gaurentee is not there either. Yes it helps, but it requires a whole lifestyle change, better food, more excercise, etc. There are alternate ways to help him, one that I read about is adult stem cell therapy that can be injected straight into the heart.
Seriously, someone please start a donation. People like this deserve to live, you don’t find many good kids like him.
