Help Phil advocate for victims of Thalidomide

Donation protected
Everyone that knows my Dad, Philip Yeatts, knows that he was born missing his right arm and leg. This was caused by the drug Thalidomide that was given to pregnant women for morning sickness.

The US government has denied that Thalidomide was ever distributed in the USA. A group of Thalidomide victims has been working with members of congress to get them recognition.

Last week, a member of the group asked my Dad to attend their next trip on 3/30/2025. It will include meetings with Senator Kennedy, Senator Cassady (among others), Director of HHS RFK Jr, and President Trump. There will also be a hearing with the HELP committee.

This exciting but unexpected trip has made saving up for it a bit difficult. This Gofundme will help him with the expenses.

Your donations will help ensure he has the opportunity to advocate for himself and others like him who have been victimized and then forgotten. Let's get my dad in front of those who can make a real difference for those
Thalidomide has affected.
