MEET ABIKEOLA ADEDAYO

Today, we share the inspiring tale of Abikeola Adedayo, a courageous individual who faced the daunting challenge of coronary heart disease. Through the collective efforts of The Healthy Heart Foundation, in partnership with First Cardiology Consultants and the VOOM Foundation, Abikeola received the life-saving gift of a free Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery.

Abikeola was diagnosed with a coronary artery disease in 2022. She was told that the condition required surgery, without which she would have had to endure a lot of pain and the restriction of several activities. Knowing the state of her family’s finances, Abikeola knew that it would take a really long time to raise the money for her surgery and she was worried that time would have run out for her before the funds would be complete.

Mrs. Adedayo continued to take her medications, while seeking help from all the places she knew to ask, until she was advised by her cardiologist to reach out to the Healthy Heart Foundation for support. After meeting with the team and undergoing the initial evaluation, she was cleared to receive financial support from the Foundation.

The day of Abikeola's surgery arrived, a moment that held immeasurable hope and anticipation. With the skilled hands of the surgical team, the Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery was successfully performed, restoring her heart and granting her a second chance at life. Abikeola's journey was forever transformed as she embarked on a path of healing and recovery. Following her surgery, Abikeola is more hopeful about her life. She is more committed to making the most of this opportunity and she knows that she has the support of the Healthy Heart Foundation

Conclusion Abikeola Adedayo's extraordinary journey stands as a testament to the transformative power of collaboration and compassion. Through the combined efforts of The Healthy Heart Foundation, First Cardiology Consultants, and the VOOM Foundation, her life was forever changed. Abikeola's story inspires us to believe in the remarkable possibilities that emerge when organizations come together to save lives and offer hope to those in need. As we celebrate her triumph over coronary heart disease, we are reminded that with unwavering dedication and support, every heart can find its path to healing and vitality.
