House passes amendment granting permanent resident status to Charlie Gard and his family

Charlie Gard and Family
Supporters of Connie Yates and Chris Gard continue to make it possible for the hospital that is refusing to allow them to move their son to the United States for experimental therapy to gracefully retreat from its position that Charlie Gard should be “allowed to die with dignity.”

Pro-life Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) tweeted out

“We just passed amendment that grants permanent resident status to #CharlieGard and family so Charlie can get the medical treatment he needs.”

If the presiding Justice Nicholas Francis, will allow Connie and Chris to move Charlie out of the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), this means Charlie will receive the nucleoside therapy Dr. Michio Hirano believes can help their critically ill, nearly 11-month-old child.
