Medical Clinic Needs
Change Drive - Can You Spare Some Change?
Our free clinic serves an average of 120+ patients per month and is supported by a staff of volunteer physicians and nurses who generously provide care to our patients.
Most of the medication we dispense is purchased through a pharmacy called MedShare. The MedShare pharmacy serves the 14 free clinics in Greater Milwaukee by supplying medications at a greatly reduced cost. These medications are crucial to the health and even the very life of our patients. Thanks to MedShare, our medical clinic can regularly supply non-narcotic drugs from cough syrup to insulin for a variety of illnesses and conditions.
It is only through your generous donations that we are able to purchase the discounted drugs and clinic supplies needed to continue serving our patients. At this time, our MedShare fund is dangerously low. To fill the gap, Repairers of the Breach is running a change drive to help raise funds for medication expenses and also to raise awareness of the many people we serve in our community. At this time we are asking that everyone consider donating your extra change to our clinic. When you clean your couch cushions or car, consider the help you can give to a person in need.
Be the change - give the change! (or donate through PayPal - be sure to specify "MedShare Fund.")
