My Travel Story

Hi, my name is David, first of all I want to say a big thank you to those who created this website and those who provided assistance.

I am Diagnosed Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5, caused by IgA Nephropathy, have been haemodialyzed for 6 years, have no money for living expenses, medication treatment & business.

Five years ago I was laid off by the company where I used to work because of kidneys problem & heavy fatique, no income, only relied on savings. I tried to fulfill my family's needs and medicine treatment expenses by starting a business, selling seafood, ornamental fish and go green household items.

In reality, physically I am weak and get tired easily, this makes my work rhythm slow, not to mention if my condition drops, this really hinders my business growth. These series of event makes the expenses were much greater than the income. Expenditure was like a train and I tried to stop it with my body.

The time came when my savings had ran out then my business stopped. My capital had ran out but living expenses (1000$ / month) and medical treatment (500$ / month) still running. This was made worse by my haemoglobin dropping, I had to buy some iron sucrose complex ( Venofer 100mg ) and hormone injections (Hemapo – Epoetin Alfa) for every month (usage : once per week).

I do very appreciate your assistance and helping hand, thank you so much, may God bless you abundantly.
