Personal message

My name is Nikita, I was recently diagnosed with Sick sinus syndrome which means that I need to have heart surgery to have a pacemaker implanted in order for my heart to beat normally.

Sick sinus syndrome causes pauses in-between heart beats for long periods and sometimes a irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) because the hearts natural pacemaker (sinus node) doesn't function properly.

Due to this I get severe muscle spasms throughout my body, the pain is excruciating and feels unbearable and it lasts for 30 minutes + each time it happens.

The cost of the pacemaker and hospitalization is approximately R110 000 in total.

Please help me to raise the necessary funds in the hopes of living a normal healthy life
