My Nonprofit Reviews

I was diagnosed with hepatitis c in 2012, during a hectic time in my life. I didn't know how I contracted the disease, what to do about it or how I was going to pay for it. Research told me that treatment would be upwards of 60,000 dollars. I put off further testing, then finally went to SLU to sign up for a drug trial. I was told that I had to be genotype tested, and that this was to be paid for out of pocket. The trial coordinator gave me the number for the HepC Alliance. I called and Bruce called back immediately. He was very reassuring and they were able to cover over 60 percent of the cost. I had the test done and nervously waited. Several weeks later, Bruce called and asked if I had ever undergone treatment- I said no, and he told me that I was one of the rare lucky few who managed to clear it naturally. He told me congratulations and sent me a letter which explained everything in more detail. Since the genotype test was no longer neccessary, I also got a check back for the full amount of the second test. I will always be grateful to this kind man and to this organization for helping me through a very tough time. I cannot thank them enough.
