My name is Dwayne Viegas, I reside in Mira road and belong to St Joseph Parish. About this time last year I started suffering losses in business and couldn’t save my mother after spending 8 lakhs mortgaging every part of our savings. Seemed life was getting a bit calmer and all of a sudden one night I started vomiting and my stomach bloated. I was taken to the hospital
Doctors informed us there is gangrene formed in my stomach because my internal organs stopped receiving blood owing to low blood pressure. The reason behind this would be since childhood I used to only eat once a day and consumed less water with difficult times ahead I ignored my health and went into depression after losing my mother, my business and the huge loan which I didn’t pay till date as I am battling life every day.
My small intestine is removed and on liquid food for 6 months. , I have lost so much weight that I don't recognise myself. I have an artificial bag put which has to be changed every 5 days until my intestine is back. We raised 3 lakhs last time when my wife approached you, for those who are not aware the government hospitals' charges are reduced however the pieces of equipment used in the operation theatre, medicines, food, and ambulance cost us more than 3 lakhs. We have attached the bills on social media as well our donors will receive an email with copies of each and every bill with a pdf copy attached.
This still doesn’t include the small intestine bag which is been taken outside without a bill as it's 1000 Rs cheaper. The bag cost us 2000 Rs per 5 days which totalled around 1 Lakh for a total of 4 months. Over what we collected we exhausted Sheryl's family savings as well, and my father-in-law started riding a rickshaw to aid my medical aid. Sheryl doesn’t leave my sight for 4 months and I feel bad about it.
On February 9, I had a stroke and collapsed at the hospital. The doctors told me that my malnutrition caused the stroke and that they needed to put my intestine back because I wouldn't survive without it. KEM hospital has been managing my case, as no private hospitals would take it. I had to pay 1 Lakh at Gurukrupa hospital for stabilizing me for 7 days, and the care and cure hospital at shanti park cost 1.5 Lakhs for antibiotics and liquid. I couldn't move to a government facility until I was conscious and stable. The doctors told us that we couldn’t take me home because I will collapse every three days and need antibiotics at the hospital to stabilize me. The only way out is to put my intestine back, which is risky on the operating table.
I need 7 Lakhs to put my intestine back and treat my heart blockage, which includes the operation, diet, liquids and medicines for my intestine. I need the money only for my treatment, as the estimation letter and bills have shown that we have been spending a lot more than we got due to my health.
Next 20 Days, I need to get my blood pressure to normal as it's 80/40, and I have a heart blockage. Please pray that I get my health stable, I felt bad when I lost my memory for two days but before anything worst. This is my last message to you all, I pray to the Lord in this lent, Save me and make me operable and get me Safely back to my wife and family after this operation.
“Isaiah 30:18 Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!”
