3. $5 (USD) to get enough insulin to give their little girl shots for 3 months

I don't have much... but if there was a way for me to pay for the next years worth of insulin... they would have the money today.

But the insulin they are buying for the $2.65 a shot on the border might not even be insulin.

and the mother's hair won't grow back that fast so selling it again in 3 months for $10 won't be possible.
