Help desperately needed!

My friend Nory needs help to pay for her dialysis 2X a week. I have been paying it for her in hopes of some charity helping; but so far only PSC has offered any assistance & it is minimal. I have written 100's of letters to many religious & charitable organizations and no luck so far. If anyone knows of a charity that has helped please let us know. I haven't the finances to keep doing this uch longer & she will die. :(
Please Help Save Nory's Life!!! Like & SHARE this on your page, so maybe it gets to compassionate people who could help!

Thanks; perhaps I should have been more clear; she lives in the Philippines and there is no equivalent of medicaid or medicare. Although the cost is reasonable to an American point of view... only $75 per dialysis, it's a small fortune to filipino's.

My experience with dialysis is that in the United States, unless something has recently changed, dialysis patients apply for and receive Medicare to cover the cost of dialysis.The social worker at the dialysis center will assist the patient with the application process and everything is billed directly after that. I have never heard of anyone coming out of pocket for dialysis. I am sure someone will set me straight if I am incorrect.
