‘Lisa does have value’
Dear Editor:
RE: ‘Do I not have value?’ Centre Wellington woman pleads for access to drug to treat rare disease, Aug. 13.
Lisa does have value! I was saddened to read about the struggle that my former high school classmate, Lisa McColeman, is having with her health and how the late diagnosis and drug she requires to improve her life has limitations and an out-of-reach cost.
How can anyone realistically afford $2 million per year?
It struck me when Lisa mentioned that the government “will pay for me to die (MAID) but they won’t give me the money to live.” I’m praying that Lisa gets the help she needs so she may live a good quality life with her husband, children and grandchildren.
