Question Posted Wednesday December 13 2006, 8:35 pm
I was reading something in the newspaper about a little girl who needed a kidney transplant.She is at the Devos Childrens Hospital in Grand Rapids and they wont do it inless they no they can afford to get the drugs they'll need to keep the new lung from giong bad.They are illegal imagrants and had to come to America to get the transplant so they cant get health care or nothing and her and her mom where making donation boxes so they could try to keep the girl alive.So I decided I was giong to put up donation boxes up for her too, in my school and stores near by just sounds like a really nice thing to do for the holiday's and I also have two other people in my school helping me and I was just wondering if other people around michigan would going in to help this girl stay alive put up stuff to get donations send some in.Plz dont look at her as an illegal imegrant just as a young 13 year old girl who really needs help to stay alive right now.
The advice that I wanted is to know how many of you would do this. The girls name is lillian and she is in the Devos Childrens Hospital.Thanx.

Charity is a wonderful thing to be involved with and I am sure you will be blessed. Politically though, the ones paying for the treatment of the medical expenses of illegal immigrants and others are the working class tax payers. When you are old enough to get a job and have a paycheck you will find out how much of your check is taken by the government to fund numerous programs, and things like the medical treatment of the illegal and uninsured. You may not have anything left from your paycheck that you can afford to give to your choice of charities. Should Americans who are legal working tax-payers be forced to pay for the expenses of illegals who do not pay taxes whether or not they work and do not pay for insurance. There is much poverty in the world and within our own country. It is a problem that won't be solved easily or anytime soon. You have a compassionate heart and that is a good thing. Balance it out with a deeper look at the health care crisis in America and the financial strain illegals are putting on the middle and poor working class in your country.
