A B.C. mother is seeking help after the province denied funding for her son's life-saving brain treatment in Germany, which doctors say is the best option for his rare condition.

• B.C. denied funding for a nine-year-old boy's brain treatment in Germany despite doctors' recommendations.
• The treatment, which costs $60,000 per session, is deemed experimental by the province, and the family has raised $107,000 but needs more funds.
• A pediatric neurosurgeon appealed the decision, stating there are no other immediate treatment options available in Canada.
