The reason I'm a donor is because I truly care about each & everyone of you, your unique testimonies that shaped you & what brought you to this point & beyond today. Together with hundreds of thousands of voices we fight the "good fight" for access to life saving medication regardless of ones financial status. The following links are a result of our collective voice.

I’ve a not so good experience with Advocate My Meds. I would suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your meds to see if they have a Patient Assistance Program ( whether or not it’s a transplant drug). I was prescribed a drug for osteoporosis that cost $1,300 a month after Medicare paid their portion. I contacted the manufacturer, Eli Lilly, and it looks like I can get it from them for free. Worth a try.
