Do I even need to add anything to this story?

The family was then transported to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, where they have been detained for several weeks. The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in San Antonio by the Immigrant Rights Clinic and The Texas Civil Rights Project.

It’s hard enough to watch your kid when they are ill… feeling helpless… but not having access to medical help is beyond imaginable for most, now if you recall a story i posted earlier this month, not having being able to take Nate to get medical help was the last straw that made me leave Haiti.

Nate’s been hospitalized 7 times already in his short life ranging from 3 to 7 days

I know well the feeling of watching him deteriorate and not being able to get him to the hospital… I kept throwing up, my insides were mush, i couldn’t breathe myself….

What are we becoming in this country?
