One month ago today if you asked me “how do you feel about your
daughter having asthma?” I’d say “well it’s a sickness that the
FEDERAL government needs to handle”.  Little did I know that this
issue is at a regional and state level? Little did I know that this
issue hasn’t been handled for any other reason than MONEY,
especially when people’s lives are at stake.  
This ignoring the pollution has gone on long enough.  When I hear
“oh the truckers will loose jobs, money, business” I think “well my
daughter is loosing her life expectancy, I think well I have to pay
for her medicines and hospital visits, I have sleepless nights
ESPECIALLY during the winter time this all adds up.  As a single
mom my daughters personal well being is more then my full time job.
 
I am sorry to say this but yes a trucker may loose a job, some
money, and business but that has vast light contrast compared to my
daughter loosing her life, because at the end of the day that
trucker can get another job, can learn a new trade…….NO ONE or
NOTHING can replace Julianna.  
Julianna is potentially one of many whose lungs may have to be
replaced in order to live a longer life, and tell me how much that
is compared to the price of a truck? Will I have government
assistance? Or some grant to pay for this medical bill considering
our healthcare system.
