September 2015 - Washington Post Jorge Ribas made this video on Arturito's parents struggle to find help fighting diseases that don't attract much amount of research or specialized funding. It also shows how determined parents can forge a path for other families encountering similar obstacles. An estimated 25 million Americans suffer from about 7,000 rare diseases.      

Other children like Arturito fight rare diseases, like young Maxwell Smith.
