Young Billy Caldwell was sent home to die due to him having Intractable Epilepsy and Angel Mans Syndrome the reason being the treatment he needed to keep him alive was not available in his home land of Northern Ireland or here in the UK. Billy has been living in exile in Chicago in the US of A for two years now as his government cannot afford the treatment he needs to keep him alive. Billy is not the only child to be living in exile over in America but it is so wrong that a government would rather see a child die than to fund a cure. Today I would like you to sign our petition to show our governments this is wrong and we want more done to support our children in our homeland. To our governments it is your responsibility to support us as after all it was us that put you in power to support us .

I am currently organizing the documentation regarding Billy's medical requirements to present directly to the local representatives. My next step involves drafting formal correspondence to the health department to demand a review of their current funding policies for children in exile.

This is honestly just heartbreaking. No family should have to leave their home just to keep their child alive. shame on the government.

Heart goes out to this poor boy. nobody should grow up in exile because the authorities are too stingy to pay for life saving care
