The Listin Diario reports that children suffering from various forms of cancer are dying due to lack of medicine in the nation’s hospitals. The walls of the Robert Reid Children’s Hospital in Santo Domingo contain a plethora of sad cases, where the children are the victims and the families suffer from a lack of resources to provide the needed drugs. Cancer patients from all over the country seek assistance at the Robert Reid, but nearly all of them lack the RD$8,000 to RD$24,000 needed to treat their children every month. The article, written by Doris Pantaleon, asks that anyone wishing to donate funds to help these children call any one of several numbers.
