When His Health Failed, He Had No Family Nearby- But He Survived!

Join Lemmy G on @ChafuwaMeza with guest Gerriey Wainaina of @MkenyaMarekaniTV as we discuss his life battle with a kidney infection. Gerriey was diagnosed with a kidney infection back in 2017 where he was hospitalized for a while. Gerriey had no idea he was suffering from a kidney infection and had spread to a life threating level 5. One day he was going to do a health checkup for his paperwork in order for him to be able to transition his life from Kenya to US diaspora. As he was getting examined the doctors did come across something disturbing. His kidney was functioning at 30% and it needed medical attention immediately. Gerriey had to be hospitalized for a while got some treatments and started doing dialysis. Life was extremely difficult, and he was experiencing excruciating pain. Medical bills were piling up, health insurance was also a pain in the ass and being unable to provide for his family was overwhelming and brought him to depression. It took Gerriey roughly 3 years to be able to get a kidney transplant. His resilience has made him to leave to have a testimony of how lucky and blessed he is. Gerriey is fully healthy now and travels around interviewing and teaching people the importance of taking care of their kidneys and health in general. He also does videography, photography, hosts events, live stream and advertisements. We are glad to have him healthy and alive since he plays a big role to our society as a role model. God bless you Gerriey Wainaina and your family as well.
