Moving from one region to another for health reasons is costly, particularly when the issue is severe. For example, in Italy, the annual cost of treating a child with cancer in a city that is far from one's hometown can reach €34,972. Added to this is a set of restricted protections for working parents, which frequently renders work and the ability to monitor their child's treatment incompatible. Peter Pan ODV, an organization that helps families with cancer-affected children and adolescents, is emphasizing this issue during September d'Oro, the international month dedicated to pediatric cancer awareness. Every year in Italy, around 1,400 children between the ages of 0 and 14 are diagnosed with cancer, followed by 600-800 young people between the ages of 14 and 20. Recovery is becoming more feasible as a result of research and therapy advances: the five-year survival rate following diagnosis is now 84%. However, treatment programs are extremely expensive for families, both monetarily and in terms of the time required to monitor their child's treatment, which frequently takes place in hospitals in regions other than their own. When a child becomes ill, family expenses inevitably rise, which, paradoxically, frequently leads to a decrease in income. Indeed, it is not always possible to take time away from work to complete the treatment program without consequences. As a result, at least one parent may have to leave their job or reduce their working hours.
