RAD­HI­CA DE SIL­VA

Eleven-year-old Aaron Ed­wards longs for a chance at life. He’s not been in school for two years, as a rare liv­er dis­or­der has left him too weak to live a nor­mal child­hood.

But while oth­er sick chil­dren are cov­ered by the Chil­dren’s Life Fund for treat­ments abroad, his moth­er Neeru­pa Ed­wards says Aaron is too weak to trav­el and lo­cal­ly, there is no doc­tor able to per­form the surgery.
