João, 44, has always been a happy guy, always willing to help everyone. After a few years of being overweight, he went from being overweight to obese, which affected both his self-esteem and his health. Help him!

Hello, my name is João Guerrero, I am 44 years old and I am level 3 obese. I was always a happy child until I gained a considerable weight and began to suffer changes in my health and my self-esteem, which has been dropping drastically because this world is cruel and unforgiving. I have heard many things. Of course, I am unemployed because I am in this situation and the time has come to change for myself, not for anyone else. I want a better standard of living and to recover my self-esteem. I would like to thank everyone who can help. God bless you all.

About the author

Hello, my name is Marisa, I'm João's sister.

Together with our family and friends, we decided to create this campaign to help cover the costs of João's surgery to improve his quality of life.

Our commitment is to help João have the best possible conditions, including his mobility and comfort.

With great hope and commitment, we believe that together we can make a difference and give João a better quality of life so that he can find a job and go back to doing many of the things he is no longer able to do because of his health.

Budget and due dates

€5,600 surgery, transportation from the airport to the hospital, 50 pre-surgical tests, ultrasound, respiratory and pulmonary performance tests, a nutrition consultation, a psychology consultation, a cardiologist consultation, an endoscopy with general anesthesia, a consultation with an infectious disease specialist, a sheik and protein kit for one month, anticoagulant injections, post-surgical anticoagulant stockings.

Schedule:

May 12th - Start of the campaign with publicity on social networks and groups.

May 12th - Direct contact with family and friends to promote the news.
