Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with kidney failure, and my life was never the same. Continuous, unrelenting, and non-stopping pain consumed me, and my health was deteriorating fast. Each day was a battle against despair.

Determined to fight, I couldn’t let the disease take over me.

I faced it with my swollen eyes and exhausted body. I faced it with all the energy that I had left. Two grueling months on dialysis helped – but hope dwindled as toxins built up and essential equipment failed. Plunged into a coma, I felt utterly alone. However, while I was fighting for my survival, SDRPY came and equipped the dialysis center at my hospital. With renewed access to life-saving treatment, I began to heal.

Today, I stand tall.
I’ve survived and emerged stronger.
Now, I start living.
