English Guide for your donation
# For everyone how needs the Englilsh guidance for donation process.
Hello, and thank you for your interest in our project. We are "Team Ocean", and we have launched this crowdfunding campaign to support Captain Yonezawa, who is fighting liver cirrhosis. To save his life and return to the sea he loves, he needs a living donor liver transplant. Your support can help make this life-saving surgery a reality.
Crowdfunding Project: Saving Captain Yonezawa
A Lifeline for a Living Donor Liver Transplant and the Future of the Ocean
The Captain’s Dream: Seaballoon and the Deep Sea
Captain Yonezawa is not just a sailor; he is a visionary who has dedicated his career to making the wonders of the deep sea accessible to everyone. As the founder of "Seaballoon," he has been working tirelessly to develop a revolutionary submersible that allows people to witness the beauty of the underwater world firsthand. His life’s work is built on a simple yet profound mission: "To connect humanity with the sea."
The Challenge: A Fight for Life
However, the Captain is currently facing the toughest storm of his life. He is battling advanced liver cirrhosis, a condition that has progressed to the point where a living donor liver transplant is the only way to save him. 2-year survival rate of the advanced liver cirrhosis is currently estimated at only 30%.
Despite the physical pain and exhaustion, the Captain remains focused on the horizon. He recently shared these moving words:
"I have spent my life looking at the ocean, dreaming of its future. My journey is not over yet. I want to stand on the deck again, look out at the blue water, and see Seaballoon finally take flight into the depths. I want to return to the sea I love."
Why We Need Your Support
To help him realize this dream, we have formed "Team Ocean." The costs associated with a liver transplant—including the surgery for both donor and recipient, intensive post-operative care, and long-term recovery—are immense.
This crowdfunding campaign is more than just a fundraiser; it is a mission to save a pioneer of the sea. By supporting this project, you are not only saving a life but also protecting the future of the deep-sea exploration he leads.
How You Can Help
Your generosity can provide the miracle the Captain needs. Every contribution brings us closer to the surgery that will allow him to continue his work with Seaballoon and inspire the next generation of ocean lovers.
