Standing with John Ricciardi Jr. After His Fall

My name is Nicholas Ricciardi. I am creating this GiveSendGo today to support my father, John Ricciardi Jr. My father has always been there for me, and I wanted to reach out to all of his friends and family in hopes of helping him pay for his medical bills after his most recent fall. 


My father has a heart condition that sometimes causes him to pass out. Over the past decade, my father has undergone several heart surgeries. This includes receiving a pacemaker in 2016 and visiting the emergency room twice. In 2018, the doctors replaced his pacemaker with a defibrillator. Most recently, he underwent battery replacement surgery six months ago.

He fell while walking in Secaucus and landed on his face, requiring over 20 stitches and dental work. The medical bills amount to thousands of dollars, and he could really use our help.


Here is the incident spelled out in his words:


”God Blessed Me Again With My Life

Kissed The Cement Sidewalk OUCHHH

Face Plant

Ventricular Tachycardia,

“(Never heard of this before)”

I have this issue, a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia.

It occurs when the heart's lower chamber beats too fast to pump effectively, preventing the body from receiving enough oxygenated blood.

When sustained, ventricular tachycardia can lower blood pressure, leading to dizziness and Fainting.

Passed OUT & Got Back Up Immediately

Wednesday 2 pm,

I fainted and fell face-first, requiring 24 stitches on the inside and upper-outer part of my lip.

Dental surgery Toooooooo Ouch!!!

I was walking my daily 10,000 steps, and I felt dizziness coming on stopped to get my breath next thing I knew I woke up on ground with blood everywhere.

In 2015 I had 3 passing out events

Had Pacemaker Sept 2016 and upgraded in March 2018 to a defibrillator, It delivered a shock to my heart—which is exactly what it is designed to do;

fortunately, that is what happened.

Saved my Life…….

EMT Ride to Hackensack Hospital & Med Center for two days.

I am now taking new medication to help prevent from happening again.

When I was on ground three man were near me and were yelling to me call 911 call 911 and my voice in my head was yelling

Forever grateful
