"Seeking Help for My Son" is the second installment of the series The Amazon in the Shadow of the Pandemic, produced with the support of the Rainforest Journalism Fund in collaboration with the Pulitzer Center.

The Amazon in the Shadow of the Pandemic is a four-episode podcast that explains the environmental risks of illegal mining and brings together stories of people affected by diseases that are still present in times of the coronavirus.

This episode narrates the journey of Andreína, a wage-earning mother with no economic resources, who embarks on a trip to the mines in the state of Amazonas, Venezuela. She makes this decision in desperation because she must find the money for her son's treatment in a private clinic, due to a congenital disease.
