Hi, I would like to request medical assistance for my father's hospital bills. My father has chronic kidney disease stage 5. We rushed him to the emergency room last November 19 because he was having a very hard time breathing. He is still in the ICU up to this date. I really hope you can help us out with the hospital bills. Looking forward to a positive response. Thank you so much and stay safe always.
