KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly two years ago, single mother Serena Merang left Miri for Kuala Lumpur with one of her twin daughters in a last-ditch attempt to save the nine-year-old’s life.

Serena, 28, boarded a flight for the first time, together with Tracy Thomas, whose kidneys were failing.

Also on board were Tracy’s twin sister Stephanie and two-year-old brother Vanes Gary.

Just two weeks earlier, Tracy had been diagnosed with kidney failure by the Miri Hospital. She was then referred to the Paediatric Institute at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital on June 4, 2007.

A few months later, Serena’s other twin daughter was also struck with kidney failure.

The twins, standing at 107cm and weighing slightly over 14kg now (which is equivalent to the height and size of a regular six-year-old), are suffering from end-stage kidney failure due to genetic reasons.

They need to stay here because they require dialysis treatment daily to stay alive.

Back in Miri, they do not have access to the medical facilities like the one provided by the Paediatric Institute.

Besides, the twins are also on the waiting list for kidney transplant – which would give them a chance to have a new lease of life.

As for Serena, she is staying put in Kuala Lumpur to look after the girls and be their pillar of strength.

“I do not have extra money to spare,” she said with a calm voice and the girls often go to school without pocket money.

Serena’s day starts with preparing both girls for school.

She would then take a short nap before starting housework because she had been staying up the whole night adjusting the dialysis machine for her daughters.

“I am a bit free once they start dialysis at 7.30pm,” she said, adding that her son is now being cared for by her father in Miri.

Last September, her husband walked out on their marriage.

Serena, who was staying with her husband’s relative in Shah Alam, then moved out from the house with her three children.

Her younger brother left home in Miri to work in a factory in Shah Alam and stays with them, providing some financial support.

He pays half the rent while the other half is paid by the Mercy Church in Batu Tiga. The church also sends groceries to her.

Serena has no idea how long she will be staying in Kuala Lumpur.

Asked if she ever felt tired, Serena just gave a broad smile, nodded and said life has to go on.
