🌟 UNITED IN HOPE – Bago CKD Support Gathering 🌟

Bago City, August 31, 2025 — The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), through its Person with Disability Program, held a meaningful support gathering for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients at the Bago City Community Center. 💙

The event brought together dialysis patients, their loved ones, and volunteers to share stories of faith, courage, and resilience.

🙏 The program started with an opening prayer, followed by a welcome message from Archie Degillo, RSW, who encouraged patients and families to remain strong and hopeful.

✨ A highlight of the event was the inspirational reflection from Ptr. Rainy Leih “Renz” Degillo, himself a CKD transplant patient, who shared a powerful message of faith and perseverance. Testimonies from patients and family members further uplifted everyone present, reminding them that they are never alone in this journey.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Five senior citizen volunteers also joined the program, helping facilitate small group sharing and offering encouragement. The gathering ended with a closing blessing and fellowship over snacks.

📌 This initiative, called United in Hope, aims to provide continuous support and encouragement for CKD patients and their families. Each session will feature different transplant patient speakers to inspire the community with real stories of hope.

💬 “This program reminds us that no one is alone in this journey. Together, we walk with faith, courage, and hope,” shared one participant.

👏 CSWDO extends its gratitude to all patients, families, and volunteers who made this gathering meaningful. Truly, hope and healing are stronger when shared.
