People have to pay for healthcare in Sierra Leone. Abdul, who is now seven was born with a deformed left arm and other problems. Sia, his mother, earned money to take him to the hospital by selling groundnuts. Abdul improved with treatment, but Sia can't afford to take him back as she's no longer working.
