Given that this lad has sickle cell, dependant on the variant he has a life expectancy of another 28 to 46 years, and although this condition can lead to a shortening of life the majority of sufferers have mild to moderate symptoms and live long and fruitful lives.
We are not a country that is without compasion. But we are a country bursting at the seams with only a limited amount of funds.

I for one cant withstand another increase in tax's along with the continuing increase in the cost of living just to continue to live just above the poverty line.
I'm not a heartless ******* but......
