I just remember when I was just starting dialysis, we have no means of sustaining it if not for the help of my brother that supported me up until now. He gives me my allowance which was stripped a few times after he got married and the last stripping was when his maid asked for a raise and so our allowance with my mother just got slashed.
But that is okay because I have a lot of debt with my brother, he saved me a thousand times because of my difficult condition. At the time of my initial few years in dialysis we pay out of pocket the bill for my dialysis. So he would ask for a loan from his friend without any interest so my needs are bridged because of that. Also, my father was a cab driver at that time and shouldered most of my needs but he sold the rights and bought a freaking air compressor with the money.
Then a relief when my Church (mcgi.org) installed a standalone dialysis center which actually had no permit because of the religious affiliation of the Mayor that favors the foe of our church so he didn't give a permit. Now it made the doctor give up the center for the fear of losing her license but we the patients got our dialysis nonetheless but with a mediocre treatment only with the dialyzer being used for months while in other countries it is only used once.

I have no choice but to go there because my brother cannot sustain my dialysis forever because of the free treatment. I thank God for our church because it bridged my life but unfortunately in my case it had come into this condition where I have to suffer another hard medical malady that is called Leontiasis.
Now that I have an insurance for my dialysis treatments that will last only until November God-willing, I will just have to pay out of pocket those remaining two months if I will last until December. But yet again I just have to procure myself additional medicines for my Leontiasis otherwise I will get a humongous head and another set of physical disability God forbid that from happening.
It is now that steemit softens the blow of managing my health condition and I thank my myriad of friends in here that truly understands my situation because of their unending support. So I am motivated to keep up fighting because there are some heaven-sent people that is at my back fighting with me. God bless and keep the steemit community.
