An Illness Brings Hardship; a Diagnosis, Relief:

This article is about one families struggle with a son's illness. The mother spent $4,000 out of pocket on testings for the diagnosis since she did not have health insurance. Eventually he was diagnosed with thalassemia and thru his father's insurance he was able to be covered financially and is now doing well. This article not only addresses the hardship of dealing with the chronic illness of a child but dealing with the financial difficulties that occur with this child and how without healthcare it is incredibly hard to pay for treatment.
