Ex-carpenter with kidney disease seeks help
Harvey Ramos
MANILA, Philippines–When he was diagnosed with kidney disease seven years ago and in need of money for his dialysis sessions, Harvey Ramos sold off his possessions, which included a house and a piece of land.
These were some of the things he bought when he was still single and working in Saudi Arabia as a carpenter, Harvey’s wife, Alfa, told the Inquirer.
When he got sick, he was sent home by his employer, she added.
At one point, Harvey underwent a kidney transplant but the organ stopped functioning when he came down with pneumonia and developed an infection, Alfa said.
As a result, her 36-year-old husband needs to undergo dialysis again for his condition to improve.

Alfa can be reached at 0947-5043222. Deposits can be made to the BDO account of Harvey’s aunt, Lorna Ramos, with account number 005760190319.
