"Battling Barriers" Campaign: Martin HS Team

Tax deductible
More than half of young-adult Americans suffer from at least one chronic or rare condition. To alleviate constant pain, these patients require ongoing and effective medication. However, outrageous drug prices and a lack of youth-tailored treatment evaluations make it incredibly challenging for these young adults to access the life-saving medication they need.

We are Nightingale Advocacy, a political coalition that drives youth toward progressive health policy reform via rallying together to take action on health policy issues plaguing the U.S. This fall, we are fundraising for Generation Patient: an organization geared towards fostering a more equitable healthcare system for youth with chronic and rare conditions and championing their voices. They have hosted 500+ peer-support meetings for young-adult patients to share their unique experiences and cultivate self-advocacy skills. Moreover, Generation Patient conducts health policy work to vocalize solutions for over-patenting prescription drugs and underrepresentation of youth in clinical trials—helping combat driving forces of inaccessible, expensive, and unsuited treatment. With your donation—even if it’s just a few dollars—you have the opportunity to support welcoming spaces for these patients and fuel advocacy for the quality care they need to thrive.
