When the issue of sick children gets brought up, it is predominantly thought of as an international problem, often being identified as one that traditionally plagues the third world. It only takes a single personal experience to remind you that, in addition to all those suffering beyond our borders, there are also many children suffering here in the United States. While I have nothing against the many charities and organizations that strive to help those in other countries, I can’t help but recognize the importance of taking care of those who are suffering here.
