Hey,, my name is Erkenwald Tjiparuro! I was born in Namibia and I moved to Canada as a refugee in December 2010;; since than I have been working hard to take care of my family , Gino Uendjiundja Tjiueza my son and his mom Rosswida Tjiueza! Gino came to Canada when he was one year old,, so Canada is the only home he knows!
So we filled in our application for permanent resident and it was denied in 2014, than we applied for Humanitarian grounds and they denied it on 5 May 2016!
Briefly on 5th December 2013 I was diagnosed with kidney failure,, end stage chronic illness! I was in an intensive care for a week, no talking no moving! And I lost a bit of memory.

Since than I have been on dialysis for almost 3 years now! And at the same time trying to work as I have to pay for my medication cause I'm not covered by Alberta health care.
Recently they send me a letter that they might deport me,, my doctors did all they could to send letters to the immigration on how serious my case is,, but still I didn't get any help! Been working and paying tax but now that I'm helpless they want to take me back.. my mom and dad died already and the only close family that I have is Rosswida and Gino! This will be a traumatised situation as I know I'm facing death if they have to take me back to Namibia,, were health facilities are limited, only the rich can survive! I come for dialysis every other day for 4 and half hours..
I'm emotionally drained I cry everyday,, my son is in grade 2 now and it's so hard to tell him all this..
I'm please crying out there to get media attention and to be granted permanent resident! Lately the doctor's told me I qualify to be on the transplant list but they can't do anything till my status change.
I'm currently living in Edmonton address 12841 -126 street

Pleas pleas help
