In her post, she asked members of the public for support in obtaining the medical procedure she needed, expressing both vulnerability and hope that others might help her cause.
The warrior described the visible and personal changes that had occurred since she received the diagnosis.
She recalled a period when she had been free of the illness and contrasted that with her current state.
According to her, the disease had deprived her of several aspects of her wellbeing including her physical health, memory, body mass, and her appearance.

She emphasised that the loss felt extensive and had altered her sense of self.
The lady then described her appearance at the time of the video, noting that she had reached a weight of 68 kilograms.
She observed that at this weight her veins had become barely visible beneath her skin. According to her, she could not fully convey the extent of what the illness had taken from her, though she accepted that this was her reality.
She repeated that the condition had reduced her weight to such a degree that her veins had become indistinct.
The young lady concluded her message by stating that, given her circumstances, prayer remained the only action she was able to take for herself.
She presented this as her final recourse and did not indicate any further steps she could pursue independently.
In her words:
"Here is a video of what I used to look like when I was without kidney disease. Kidney disease has taken so much from me. It took away my good health. It took away my memory. It took away my weight. It took away my beauty. It took so much from me. This is what I look like now. Currently I weigh 68 kilograms. With this weight, my veins are almost invisible. I cannot even start to mention how much it has taken away from me, but it is what it is. It took so much weight that my veins became invisible. The only thing I can do for myself now is to pray for myself. That's all."
