My Parents Went Out To File A Financial Assistance For Me

It is now hard to get a dialysis treatment in my dialysis center because not only we are given a strict rule to follow like bringing our own extra blankets and chair cover, being outside and not in the waiting room first before getting hooked-up for our treatments, and we also have to pay around four dollars extra for every treatment.

They say that the charge was from the extra cost that the hospital is doing like using alcohol and PPE's and disinfection of the center after the third batch. So the third batch was the ones being charged with extra bill and I happen to belong with them.

We now pay a total of around $13 dollars instead of around $9.80 in dollars equivalent of our local money here. I reckon that we are being charged as the same for the hospital in the adjacent city so my option to transfer to that hospital now is on the table.

It is unfortunate that the CoViD pandemic is affecting me directly and I am now at the mercy of the hospital if they would charge us again extra, if so then I might transfer because we are better off getting a discount if we transfer if that situation happens.

I know that the hospital must take precautions as not to cause cross contamination among patients because the nature of CoViD but it is doing a great burden now for my bi-weekly dialysis treatments considering that I am using a health insurance for my treatments and yet every treatment now had gotten so expensive because of that.

Now my mother is compelled to go out and file a request for financial assistance that we can patch for such a need. I am really sad about my parents having to get dragged out of my misfortune as they should be just relaxing by now and yet are forced to support me.

That is why my fear of losing them is great because I do not think that my siblings would do the same for me which I do not like to happen because for me they have not obligated to help me.

I am just happy that at least I have a way to earn a bit of money that I am using for my medical needs and other necessities otherwise I will never ever get to bridge my life and see the light of the current day.

I really do not want to live longer, it is just I do not want to die a lingering death because that will happen if I suddenly stopped going for my dialysis. My longing and effort to sustain and help myself just resulted in me being able to reach this 18th year of being a dialysis patient.

But I do thank God that at least we are able to get some financial assistance and I am also able to earn some money which is fantastic because most dialysis patients really cannot work but in my case I can earn and that is something to be poud about I guess.
