My name is Mandy and I'm currently serving as a missionary in the Philippines. On my initial visit to the Philippines I had the privilege of meeting a wonderful young man called Kenneth who has become a very dear friend. Kenneth was working in Manila at that time and supported his family financially. He visited his family home at weekends. On one of these weekends he gave up his time to assist us with a medical mission and outreach event. Sadly only a few months later in July 2014 Kenneth himself was diagnosed with end stage kidney disease and undergoes hemo dialysis three times a week. He had to stop working due to his illness.
kenneths brother has been approved as a donor and is desperate to give his brother this life saving transplant. The only thing that stands in the way of this life saving operation is finances. There is extremely limited assistance for health care in the Philippines.
I returned to the Philippines September 2014 and I'm currently still here. In this past year I have seen Kenneth deteriorate in all areas of his well being. In the past five months he has had two emergency blood transfusions due to his hemoglobin levels dropping which has left at risk heart failure. He endures pain due fluid building up in his legs and rising to his lungs making it difficult to breathe. He needs this transplant ASAP.
Kenneth's Social Worker has campaigned on his behalf and has provisionally gained him a placement on the HOPE study program which will secure him a whole years worth of medical expenses for free post operation if the transplant goes ahead by October 2015. If the operation does not proceed by October 2015 his placement will be allocated to another patient.
Kenneth needs this transplant immediately, not only to qualify for the HOPE program but in order to save his life...please consider his cause, please give what you can in order to save his life and fulfill his dreams.
In spite of Kenneth's personal circumstances he still selflessly assists us in our mission in reaching out to others who are in desperate need. Please help us to raise the funds needed for his life saving transplant.
