pray for my little brother
My name is Leon, Chen Lei is my Chinese name and my hometown is a small remote village in Henan province of China. I have very loving parents and a lovely brother, my parents are love in a cottage and my family filled with happiness. My parents became Christians when I was nine years old and from then on, they often took me and my brother to church and listen to the pastor perform missionary work. Many people gathered in a small church with solemn expression, father told us if we can come to the church frequently, we will have pure soul and will receive God's salvation. In retrospect, we felt very pleasant at that time although we lived in a poor life.
My mother has poor healthy all the while. She was diagnosed with adrenal tumors in hospital in 1999 and need immediate surgery treatment. The surgery spent most of our saving but because of timely treatment, mother has gradual improvement of the physical. My family full of laughter again and every week we can participate in the worship in church as before. Five years passed, I ended my high school life and entered into a university in Shanghai, my family were all very happy, we much more believe that God will bring happiness to his followers.
But unfortunately, the greater disaster struck us. In 2007, my brother is also suffering from a kidney disease. The result of further diagnoses is renal cell carcinoma. This is the biggest attacks in my life. My whole world went into the darkness of despair. After more than six months of hemodialysis and subsequent chemotherapy, my brother has become very haggard, without hair, face and body started swelling. He is only 15 years old, he wanted to go to school like other teenagers, but that is out of the question.
The doctor told us that if my brother does not receiving renal transplantation treatment in one year, he would die. Because of younger brother's illness, we have borrowed a lot of money, we can not afford more than two hundred thousands RMB of kidney transplant costs and an expensive kidney. China has a rural medical insurance policy, but the subsidies for my brother only about 10,000 RMB. Nevertheless, we are still in the queue waiting for the transplant and waiting miracle to happen.
It's never forgetting that my brother clinging to my hand: "brother, God really exist? Why he did not help us?" I cuddled my little brother and my eyes clouded with tears because I did not know how to answer. I know my brother is enduring a lot of pain. My little brother in my arms as a small feeble mouse and all pinholes on his arm and waist. I want my life would be the way it was before but it seems impossible. I have three part-time jobs and my parents doing their best to raise money. Many converses donated us although they are poor. One of the converses told me that I can seek help from foreign followers through the Internet because I can write in English. I know that seeking help in this way as difficult as seeking a needle in the Pacific Ocean, but I still come, I want to try my best to seize any tiny hope.
