Crowdfunding Campaign for Lucky Heart Transplant Patient

NORWOOD, Mass. - EntSun -- Norwood, MA - Today, Dr. Bessie and Claude DiDomenica launched the HelpCatDad.com crowdfunding website.

Dr. Bessie DiDomenica said:

"Claude is a very lucky man! He struggled with heart failure for four long years. But on July 11, 2024, he was approved and placed on the heart transplant list. We expected a 6-12 month wait for a donor heart."

Bessie added:

"And his good luck continued. On July 13, 2024, we received a call about a wonderful family who donated the heart of their family member. A good news day just as we thought there would be time to start a crowdfunding campaign."

This quick turnaround pushed the crowdfunding timeline way ahead. The DiDomenicas had no time to prepare for a costly journey to recovery: Ongoing medical bills, lengthy rehab, lifetime medications, and more.

Claude said:

"I won't be able to return to work for many months."

"I'm a very spiritual person, and I realized that our Creator had blessed me with a bad heart, and the challenge to stay fit over many years."

"Testing my heart and my will to stay active forced me to be ready for the brutal transplant surgery and recovery process."

Claude continued:

"I never was angry at God. At first, I prayed for the miracle of a healed heart. But a healthy heart would have only taught me that

I was powerless in my own well being."

Claude concluded:

"I embraced the Creator's challenge to find my inner 'Superman.' For the past two years before the transplant, I walked for three hours every day."

Bessie added:

"On July 13, the day before surgery, Claude arrived at the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital. Under his own power, he walked into the hospital as an athlete 'just needing a new pump.'"
