Visitation to Kampung Dunuk/Padawan

I’m inside a van now, and this van belongs to the Sarawak Children Cancer Society. Inside the van we have other two members from the Kuching Life Care Society, one from the Sarawak Children Cancer Society, one retire nurse from Sarawak General Hospital, two doctors from China. There are all 7 of us. Today we will drive Mr Pat to go back home, Mr Pat is a nephrosis patient, he just finish his Renal Therapy from Sarawak General Hopital, and he had bring along two box of renal medicine from Baxter Healthcare company, and this is sponsor by the Sarawak Hospital.

It would take about 1 ½ hours to get from General Hospital to Kampung Dunuk/Padawan, and that’s a long journey. Mr Pat had diagnosed with Renal Disease for 7 years, and her oldest daughter has the same problem, and had been undergo her renal therapy for 5 years, she’s 17 years old this year. At Kampung Dunuk/Padawan, he have 7 kids at home, and one of them who name Arnold Cesser 14 years old had a brain tumor and undergo tumor surgeon when he was 4 years old, he survive, but now he can’t speak, he can walk or stand. All day long he just lies on the floor, waiting for his mom to take him to bath, and go to toilet. The Kuching Life Care Society bad brought some food for them, and they also donate a sum of money for their monthly expenses.

This visitation had teach me to cherish my life, I'm so lucky to be bless with healthy body, god bless Mr Pat and his family.
