More Info

I'm Vietnam Veteran in December 2021 I had to go back to Adelaide to get medical attention. The doctors i  Venezuela diagnosed me as having liver problems. But as it turned out I had prostrate cancer. So that was very scary. I was staying with one my sons Jarrad but it was not good staying with him. So a friend helped me out. I had not seen her since 1965 from my roller skating days. Anyhow after many visits to specialist and many medications and radio therapy. I had to go home to my family even though Venezuela did not have my medicines and the Defence Veterans Association does not support me here in Venezuela. I only have enough until march so i need to import from overseas but very expensive. 

Plus when I got hope the dentist could not fit my lower teeth as i had all my teeth pulled and a bridge made. 

On top of all that i learnt that my wife had been very Ill and needs a operation in her jaw which will cost over $4000 and my other family member need an operation also costing $3500 ontop of my teeth also costing $3500 .

As I support 6 people including myself in this house i felt helples on a Veterans pension. Witch is $2100 a month. So 

I'm desperate for help. here are some pics from  Adelaide

Well I have been trying to blog on Instagram but I need lessons. I have trying to find a way to buy my Cancer medicine because the Australian Doctors only gave me prescriptions for 4 months and i need to go until November. I know they are expensive .I need to take 2 Zytiga a day on empty stomach so I take 7 tablets in the morning 2 for Diabetes 2 for cancer plus one blood thinner. Wait 2hours then take my Zytiga. So anyone out there can help me obtain or pay to buy I need 5 months’ supply.
Apart from that the Australian dentist did not finish my implants I brought them with me but the dentist here say they are old models they have no tools to fit them so have no bottom teeth.need implants done so I can eat.
Apart from my prostate cancer I have diabetes which affects my feet really bad always hot.
That’s enough about me ,I feel bad I can’t help my wife whom need all her facial bone reconstructed but the cost is over 4000US$. She is in constant pain. Although she tries not to show it. She’s in pain!
Her son in law whom lives with us here has needed a gallstone operation for 2 years but all the hospitals are either busy or don’t have the staff and the private hospitals want over 3 thousand US dollars. So people out we need help. Plus I’m having problems with renewing my Visa because it expired when Covid hit
