URGENT APPEAL 

Vincent* from South Asia was forced to flee his country due to conflict. In recent years, he has battled unbearable chest pain as an asylum seeker in Hong Kong and was diagnosed with unstable Angina. This dangerous condition can cause cardiac arrhythmias and even a heart attack—resulting in sudden death. The chances of heart attack or death within a year for those with unstable Angina are typically between 7-11%, a substantial risk.

As Vincent could not afford the fees, he was unable to undergo the required surgery scheduled in 2021 - 2022.  His declining health has since impacted his day-to-day activities and left him in a dire situation.

To save his life, Vincent urgently needs to raise at least HKD 74,000 to undergo the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital scheduled on 11 November 2024. The funds would cover the deposit for the self-financed items and equipment needed for the surgery.

Please help save his life, offer hope, and provide a chance for him to rebuild. 

*"Vincent" is a pseudonym used to protect the individual's privacy and identity. He is a person under UNHCR’s mandate.
