Advocacy Program: Children Urgent Needs Story: Jaderirst, 16-years-old, Salah Foundation Children’s Hospital at Broward Health When we first met this friendly teen early this year, he walked into our office spreading joy. Sadly, his brain cancer has since advanced to the point of impairing his speech and ability to walk. Jaderirst’s mother has been told no further treatment options are available and is under hospice care. His single mother was working for the Broward County Public Schools, but do to school closures during the pandemic and the 24/7 care needed by her child, she is no longer working.
