I am very sad to hear of your friends passing, but that money would not have helped him.
All these conditions you cite having researched, are primarily due to poor diet, lack of exercise and heredity to some degree.
I have been trying to control my BP for years, successfully for the most part, but it is a struggle.
Stay strong my young friend
You are very correct @jerrytsuseer but I feel like helping him as at that time might go a long way probably the money might get him a medication 💊 🤔
