There’s no medicine here in the hospital, not even for a saline solution,” he said.
Ilce detailed that in addition to little Angela she has two more girls who need her support and care, so she longs for her child to return safely and safe to home.
It’s been very difficult and painful news, but I don’t lose the will and faith to keep fighting alongside my baby.”
The first week we spent nearly 10,000 pesos on pure medications, Angela’s mother explained, so now that I’m starting chemotherapy, she’s afraid she’s needing more resources and not having it for the little girl’s care. Angela’s parents are also constantly comparing drugs that have been affecting their economy and being high-cost drugs ask citizens or outbuildings to want to support them to do so.
