In the clip, Don Richard opened up about the devastating impact his illness has had on his family, revealing the heartbreaking moment he broke the news to his wife.
“When my wife was told about my health, she started crying. And I told her that ‘another man is a lucky man.’ I begged her to take good care of my children (twins),” he said.
He went on to explain that his family had sold their major belongings in a bid to raise money for his treatment.
“Immediately she left the hospital, she went to dispose of our house and car for my treatment. I have nothing left anymore,” he said.

“Don Richard has been down with a kidney in a while.”
