Birbhum Girl Battles Rare Disease, Awaits Government Aid

A little girl in India has a rare disease that stops her body from breaking down a certain part of food.

She needs special medicine that costs a lot of money each month.

Her family is poor and can't afford it.

They are hoping the government will give them money to help pay for the medicine.

The girl's father makes very little money, and her older brother died from the same disease years ago.

Doctors say the medicine can stop the disease from getting worse, but it is very important that she gets the medicine as soon as possible.

Because she was diagnosed with the disease later in life, her health is already impacted.
