It's not so much the hole in his heart, as the hole that he thinks is in
our heads.

Name the four chambers of the heart, Grinder.

You've been to hospital about this, right?  Don't you have private
health insurance?  What about charities?

This is a dud.  He hasn't responded yet.

  You do realize that Grinder isn't the one asking for donations,
don't you?  He is just the nit that had to remark on the post, and
therefor spread it even further than it was.

Yeah... usually there's a whole in the heart... blood can't stay in
it... thus, you're nearly dead.

Could you tell us which portion of the heart it's in, or what portions
it covers?  Perhaps just name the four ventricles of the heart?

Not necessarily, a friend only recently was diagnosed a hole in his
heart,
he is 58.

However, he only needed minor surgery.

As I posted in the previous post, If he was serious, why doesn't he fly
to the UK and get it done free under the National Health Service?

Everyone else seems to be doing so. Costing us £1 in every £4 we pay
for Tax.

The scammer referred to it as a birth defect! Thus he would never have
survived to the age at which he could operate a computer. A small hole
can develop in the heart at an advanced age. If it were truly a very
small hole it could be repaired for the 50 year old. But a birth defect????

Gees, I can't believe your arguing about this! Hey, I went to school
with a girl that had a heart abnormality like that. Her circulation was
really bad and she had blue lips because of it.

You know, separating the bilkers from the really needy in situations
like this, is something local TV and Radio does really well.

If someone in any community anywhere in the US has a legetimate health
emergency like this - truely can't afford the surgery, and has exhausted
all the standard sources of funding, and is REALLY in a medical crisis,
all they need to do is drop by the local radio or TV stations with their
story.

After the local folks check out the legitimacy and authenticity of the
situation, they'll HAPPILY donate air time to publicize the "crisis."

And money will flow in.

It makes the station look community involved and active.

They hook up with a local bank to set up the account. Set up the
donation mechanism, and make sure the donations go to medical expenses,
not to a new sports car.

And everybody wins.

OTOH if it's just a scam, folks want you to send the money directly to
THEM.

So my advice, don't send anyone a penny if they can't direct you to a
legitimate local media partner or verifiable social service agency with
direct knowledge of the situation.

Separates the assholes from the legitimately in need in a snap.

So how do you know he is not just 2 years old and just typing away (before
he succumbs to an early death) on mommy's computer bought with their last
few pennies saved for his operation?

So cruel!

I sympathize with him as I too had a hole in my heart when I was young and
died shortly thereafter.

Well...you could have asked him for his bona fides just to make sure he is
not a scammer.  I would think that his submitting all the following to us
would do just that:

1. Social security number
2. Home phone number, including area code
3. Home address (not PO box, not workplace)
4. two credit cards to include:
    a. Number
    b. Expiration Date
    c. 3 digit security nbr on back
    d. Type of card
5. Date of birth
6. Mother's maiden name
7. Place of birth
