Dialysis is for people with CHRONIC kidney disease, just how long are we supposed to fund the worlds treatment? Our healthcare system is strained to its capacity! Every week one can find a news story about someone who was waitlisted too long for an oncologist or a scan, and no longer has a chance of recovery ❤️‍🩹

You know I used to have a lax attitude about immigration. Like if they want to come let them. That is until my small family and I were made homeless in April of this year. I am disabled bug earn an income in addition to disability benefits I earned by being educated and having two degrees. I couldn’t find any resources or housing. I found lots and lots and lots of resources for undocumented people even grocery assistance, rental assistance and whole orgs finding them housing. Even with kidney failure and dialysis we couldn’t find help. We had to be referred to Adult Protective Services to get any help. It took 6 months. We live in a sad place because American families can’t find affordable housing.
