“Ever since feeling this way, I just wanted to die because of excruciating pain. That’s why I am thankful to Tzu Chi Foundation because I learned about my condition and my mind was enlightened as well. I almost lost hope to have my condition checked because we cannot afford treatment,” Mejia tearfully said.
“Simula nang naramdaman ko ito parang gusto ko nang mamatay dahil sa sobrang sakit. Kaya’t nagpapasalamat ako sa Tzu Chi Foundation dahil nalaman ko na ang sakit ko at gumaan ang pakiramdam ko ngayon. Halos nawalan na ako ng pag-asang gumaling dahil hindi namin kayang magpagamot,” naiiyak na pahayag ni Mejia.
