These are Gaddi’s medication for myokymia and her vitamins for autism support. Along with therapy and doctor’s fees, these are part of the ongoing costs we continuously provide for her, excluding the basics like milk, diapers, and all her other daily needs.
In today’s crisis, everything feels heavier. Prices keep rising, but the needs of children with special conditions do not adjust or slow down. They don’t wait. They don’t become cheaper. They remain constant, no matter how hard things get. And all of it adds up every single day.
Because this is not just a list of medicine and vitamins. This is part of her daily support, her stability, and what helps her function better. This is part of what keeps her going.
And in moments like this, you realize care is not just emotional it is also financial. And both are heavy.
And honestly, this is where the frustration comes in. Imagine the kind of healthcare we could all experience especially for children like Gaddi, if public support truly translated into something real, accessible, and felt. Imagine not having to carry this much out of pocket for something that should already be supported.
Because the reality is, you learn to figure things out on your own adjusting, sacrificing, and stretching everything just to keep up with needs that cannot be skipped.
This is not occasional.
This is not temporary.
This is every single day.
And still, life goes on. You adapt, you endure, and you keep choosing to show up, because you have no other choice.
