This is my uncle Gonzalo, but we call him Yiyo. He’s my mom’s brother, and right now, he’s in San Cristóbal, Venezuela, facing a very real risk of sudden cardiac death.

He has a device in his heart called a dual-chamber ICD. Basically, it monitors his heart, and if it detects a dangerous rhythm that could stop his heart, it delivers an electric shock to bring it back to a normal rhythm.

We had this procedure done in 2021, but his battery is now running out, and he urgently needs a generator replacement. We’re literally racing against the clock.

We need to raise $10,000 to cover the device, the procedure, and the clinical expenses.

I only have 3,344 followers, but if every single person donated just $1, it would make a huge difference.

I’ll leave the GoFundMe below—it goes directly to my family, and I’ll personally manage it. We also accept Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, or cash.

Please donate if you can, and most importantly, share this video. You never know who might see it and help us get Yiyo the care he needs.

Thank you so much. ❤️
