Oscar's Journey |
It’s hard to tell what’s going on inside someone’s body just by looking at them. In Oscar’s case, his kidneys are failing. He's been dealing with CKF for 10 years. Time is not on his side. All who know Oscar know he's not one to give up easily, always persevering through everything that life has given him, always wanting to take care of everyone else without thinking of himself. |
