SickKids VS Barriers

When a clinical trial offers hope, financial barriers shouldn't stand in the way.

In this episode, Nika’s mom, Amanda, shares what that journey has looked like, and how a new SickKids program is helping families like hers remove some barriers, so that they can focus on what matters most.
