Lidia Monroy spoke out for Amanda, 7. The girl has stage 4 neuroblastoma, and her family is trying to help her receive a medication that has already been donated.
But, according to her mother, the drug can only be administered at a clinic, and that comes with a monthly cost of 20 thousand dollars—something the family cannot afford. “They put a price on our daughter’s life”, Lidia said: a phrase born of love and the desperation of seeing an option theoretically within reach, but not in practice.
The family is now seeking support so Amanda can access the treatment. Her story raises a question that a donation alone cannot resolve: what good is it for the medication to arrive if the cost of administering it also becomes a barrier?
