The Palmiotto family tried for several days to get the prescriptions refilled, and that's when Nina Pineda and 7 On Your Side stepped in to help.
Hours before the fire gutted his home to ashes and destroyed everything, 10- year-old Nicco Palmiotto was blowing out the candles on his birthday cake.
"She's like your house, your house is in flames" mom Erika Palmiotto said. "And I'm like what are you talking about and she's like your house is burning down it's on fire.""It's a full gut, between the fire and the smoke and the hose from taking the fire down. Everything's gotta come out," dad Mark Palmiotto said.
"I went to the pharmacy they said we can't help you have to call the insurance company," Erika said. "It was whole back and forth we weren't getting anywhere. I was told I had to pay out of pocket costs, $600. We are displaced, we have no where to go we have nothing.""Especially him, he's off the walls," Mark said. "He doesn't know how to control his body. He doesn't understand he can hurt himself hurt someone else.
Nina and the team got involved on a number of fronts by talking to their pediatrician and the health insurance company.
