The Reids arrived in Pittsburgh in January, expecting to spend about three years here for Matisse’s operation and long recovery.

But with the wait for the transplants expecting to take eight months to a year, they now realize they may have to stay closer to five years — and it’s unclear whether the money they raised will be enough. If they spend only $60,000 annually — a tight stretch for a family of six — the money will run out in about four years.

Often, coming to the United States is the only choice for families seeking complicated transplants, leaving people who have always worked dependent on charitable people and organizations. On rare occasions, they are forced to return home.

“There’s no provision whatsoever, even for humanitarian grounds, to allow these people to work,” said Bruce Larson, director of the international personnel office at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., which treated about 8,000 foreigners last year at its hospitals, including several hundred children.

里德一家在一月份到达匹兹堡，希望在这里呆三年给马蒂斯做手术及其长期康复。
但在等待移植的过程中，他们意识到：本以为8-12个月的等待期变成了将近五年的时间---养家糊口的钱是否足够便变得不确定。如果他们每年只花6万美元---六口之家非常紧巴的数字---4年就会花光。
通常，到美国寻求复杂的移植对于许多家庭来说是唯一的选择。因为慈善机构和做慈善的人会帮助这些有能力工作的人找工作。只有很少情况，他们才被迫返乡。
‘即使从人道主义层面来说，无论如何都没有给人们找工作这一说’布鲁斯·拉尔森，国际人事部主管在洛奇斯特市梅约诊所如是说，他去年在他的医院救治过8000名外国人，包括几百名儿童。
