A 14-year-old Girl Needlessly Loses Her Leg by Victoria Valdez

There is a health crisis in Venezula and it is hard for people to be treated for illnesses.  A 14-year-old girls needlessly lost her leg because she could not receive early treatment to prevent her cancer from spreading.  There is a huge shortage of medical supplies and medicine.  Doctors had to remove her leg in an effort to save her life.

It is so sad that this young girl lost her leg because she could not receive proper medical treatment. We are so lucky to live in the United States where we can receive medicine and medical treatments when we get sick.

  1. The sad thing is that this happens so much every day, and minimal efforts are being put into place to prevent it.
