A mother has been abandoned by her husband and parents-in-law after her 9-year-old daughter was hospitalized for the 38th time due to aplastic anemia.

The mother, last name Liu, 27, is reportedly unable to work due to being a full-time carer for her daughter in Yunnan Province, China. She relies of donations from live streaming to pay for her daughter’s blood transfusions, according to a March 27 report by Chinese state-sponsored media The Paper.
