[j.i.a]

Hi,

My brother has ALS. Since his insurance coverage is poor, I have ordered a variety of his medications from a Swiss pharmacy at a lesser cost. Our friend in Geneva brings them over. I recently ordered Baclofen for him, and made the mistake of not specifying that he uses the oral formulation. Our friend delivered the intrathecal formulation, which turns out to be the only one available in Switzerland,so now I have 20 ampules, each 5cc, with a 0.2% Baclofen concentration. The manufacturer is Sintetica S.A. in Switzerland.

Since I have no use for it, and I spent $1400, I would like if possible to find a patient who'd be able to use it and I would donate the medication. If in turn I could receive a donation receipt for the medication I could at least get a tax credit, since I have the receipt.

Does your organization have any type of bulletin board or other tool whereby this offer could be made?

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
