Should Kherin Dimalanta be sent back to the Philippines to die?
Kherin Dimalanta could be sent back to the Philippines due to her costly dialysis treatment making her ineligible for permanent residency.
“Is it better for me to stay here and get the medication and work still? Or is it better for me to go home, see them, hug them?” she asked. “What would you choose?” – Kherin Dimalanta
“How could Canada send somebody home to die in front of their children, just because we have to pay for the medical treatment?… It doesn’t feel Canadian to me.” – Employer Dr. Cathy Kyeremanteng
Perplexing questions indeed.
What would you choose dear readers?
But while we ponder the question, Kherin Dimalanta may not have the luxury of waiting.
Almost two years after she filed to stay in Canada for humanitarian reasons, no decision has been made on her application.
And the clock is ticking.
