from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

When Laura Bray's daughter Abby was undergoing treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia she needed a drug called Erwinaze, which was in short supply. Laura came to find out that  Pediatric Cancer drug shortages were happening far too many times. She got to work, solved Abby's problem in 10 days and then started her ANGELS FOR CHANGE Non Profit. This Non- Profit has been working over the past several years to help solve this shortage issue as 75 percent of the 20 most common drugs used for Pediatric Cancer patients have been through shortages over the past 5 years. The average time that these drugs are in  short supply is 15 months. Laura has taken on this challenge of basically being one voice to advocate for these kids to solve this more than critical issue with her ANGELS FOR CHANGE organization.
