Yasmita's parents did everything in their power to bring their daughter to Israel for cancer treatments.
Having left their native Sri Lanka, her mother and father are employed as migrant workers in Cyprus, and when their 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor, they were told Israel was the only place where her life could be saved.
