Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia: Allow the kidney transplant! Amelia Rivera has the right to live.

Three year old Amelia Rivera is being denied the right to a life-saving kidney transplant simply because she is cognitively impaired.

You can read Chrissy Rivera’s agonizing story of how they were treated at CHOP here: http://www.wolfhirschhorn.org/2012/01/amelia/brick-walls/

The vision behind wolfhirschhorn.org is plain and simple: to give current parents a place to share their stories and for new parents to hear the real story. Most Doctors and Geneticists rely on research and can only provide information from books and literature. The real story encompasses the lives of those children that live it day to day.
