“And they have been in charge of my transportation to and fro the hotel and the hospital. If I call the driver at 12 midnight, he will be here.
“Even before I came here, they have already told me that I have their support and apart from that, certain amount of money have been approved although I do not know how much yet but the secretary general told me that some amount of money have been approved for me for my first treatment.
“So, NFF is my parent and even though I expected them to help but they are not under obligation to do so.
Therefore I want to sincerely thank them for their support they are kind enough to be helpful,” he said.
