Donor gives kidney patient new lease on life

Published on

A FUND support of P5,000 was given last week to dialysis patient Martina Pacatiw Macario, who is confined at Baguio General Hospital.

The amount coming from an unidentified Korean woman, who coursed it through courier at the public market in La Trinidad, Benguet last Monday.

Macario thanked the donor and for other would-be Samaritans to follow the anonymous donor’s act.

Meanwhile, a financial distress patient requested last week that her condition be also told, hoping Samaritans out there would also help her sustain her life-time dialysis.

Sixty-two-year-old Remedios Bagsao of Paoay, Atok, Benguet could hardly sustain her twice-a-week dialysis at the Benguet General Hospital in La Trinidad, Benguet.

The patient began her dialysis in June, 2013 and has exhausted the resources of her three children the past three years. The family’s financial condition took another blow when her husband died two years ago.

“It leaves me with no recourse but to seek help through your publication,” she said.

Samaritans may ring up her cellphone number (0939)568-4672. (Ramon Dacawi)
