Sick man needs financial aid

Daniel Veridiano used to be the breadwinner in his family until doctors diagnosed him to be suffering from end-stage renal disease in 2008.

Since then, the 34-year-old bachelor has stopped working at New Era University to make way for his dialysis sessions at New Era Hospital which, like the university, is also run by the Iglesia ni Cristo, a religious sect of which he is a member.

“My father and I now rely on my sister who has a family of her own,” Veridiano, resident of Sta. Cruz, Manila, said in Filipino.

According to him, he and his family used to manage but money has become tight. Right now, they cannot afford the cost of his 12-times-a-month dialysis sessions which cost P2,500 per treatment.

“I had hoped to be able to work again so that my father and I won’t be a burden anymore to my sister,” he said.

Those who want to help him can call 0939-3911600. Donations are welcome through his Security Bank account with account number 0051-236646-337.
