Human love of "dialysis neighborhood"

For many years, the row of boarding houses located in lane 457 Chau Phong Street, Gia Cam Ward, Viet Tri City has become a "dialysis neighborhood" for poor patients with kidney failure who are being treated at the Kidney - Dialysis Center, Provincial General Hospital. Although each person lives in a different place and has different circumstances, they all suffer from kidney failure and live together in the row of boarding houses, bringing them closer together and helping each other fight the disease.

Teachers, parents and students of Viet Tri High School, Viet Tri City give gifts to people being treated for kidney failure at the "Dialysis Village".

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nguyet, born in 1966 in Xen hamlet, Phuc Khanh commune, Yen Lap district, said: “I have been here for 7 years. Because the district medical center does not have a dialysis machine, I have to go to the Kidney Center - Blood Filtration, Provincial General Hospital for treatment, 3 times a week for dialysis, so I have to rent a room. We have determined that we will be on dialysis for the rest of our lives. In the rented room, we see each other as relatives, relying on each other to live...”. Ms. Hoang Thi Huong, born in 1988 in Tru Duong area, Cam Khe town, Cam Khe district, has been on dialysis for 10 years, shared: “Before, my child was still young and had to leave with his grandparents, I went back and forth constantly, now he is older so I don't have to go back as much as before. Every month, the dialysis fee is covered by health insurance, and other expenses such as the cost of buying some medicines, rent, electricity, water, living expenses... I have to pay, depending on the conditions, but the most economical is about 3 - 4 million VND/month”.

The entire "dialysis village" has 2 dormitories with more than 10 patients who are fighting kidney failure every day and every hour, including old and young people, all of whom are poor and in very difficult circumstances in localities in the province. Cases like Ms. Ha Thi Yeu, born in 1973 in Thu Cuc commune, Tan Son district, has been on dialysis for 9 years. Because the district medical center does not have a machine, she has to go to the provincial general hospital for treatment. Her 2 children have their own families, but their circumstances are very difficult, so Ms. Yeu rarely goes home, and spends the rest of her time mainly eating and living in the dormitory. As for Duong Thi Thanh Phuong, born in 2002 in zone 4, Phu Khe commune, Cam Khe district, has been treated here for 9 years, is thin and weak, and has very difficult circumstances...

They gathered together in the boarding house with simple rooms, sharing every meal, drink, medicine package, and words of encouragement to fight the disease together. Without relatives to take care of them, it was here that they found a special family where all members sympathized, shared, and loved each other. Ms. Lai Thi Bich Lieu - a teacher at Viet Tri High School, in group 22A, Ha Lieu area, Gia Cam ward said: "It's so sad, because of kidney failure and needing treatment, they had to rent a room for convenient treatment, some people we still saw this month, but we didn't see them the next month, and when we asked, we found out that they had passed away. On holidays and Tet every year, I mobilize parents and students to give gifts to the patients staying at the "dialysis hamlet". In addition, every day, I bring them whatever I have, helping them ease the difficulties in life. When they go on dialysis, they are determined to be treated for the rest of their lives...". Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Lam - Head of Group 22A, Ha Lieu area, Gia Cam ward said: "Since the "dialysis village" was established in the area, the residential area and people here regularly care for them, visit, encourage, give gifts, and annually organize Chung cake wrapping, let them celebrate Tet before returning to their hometowns...".

Perhaps the kidney failure patients in the poor boarding house will not wait for any miracle to happen. Hopefully, in that difficult journey, with the sympathy, sharing, love and joint efforts of the community, the benefactors will become a support, helping the poor patients in the "dialysis ward" reduce the financial burden, have more faith and hope to fight the pain and illness, and light up the desire to live and move on. Such help is not only of material value, but also a precious spiritual medicine, helping to soothe the pain and loneliness of the less fortunate people.
