Join Cindy & Jheri this Thursday, Jan. 30th to lower RX prices in Nevada!
Friend,

We are elated to announce that we will be working with Cyndi Sturgis, a
mother of two children with chronic illnesses, and Jheri Jamerson, a
healthcare professional: 

Cindy is a mother of two children with special needs. Her oldest son
suffered a traumatic brain injury during the 2009 recession.
Hospitalization & rehabilitation costs caused her family to lose their
assets and $500,000 in equity from two homes. Her youngest son was born
with a congenital intestinal disorder that has been deadly in the past,
and her husband is the sole breadwinner of the family so that she can
focus on caring for their sons.

Jheri is a caretaker in a medical rehabilitation facility. She provides
care to patients who have been discharged from the hospital but have
nowhere to go. Her clients include people experiencing homelessness and
jobless individuals who cannot afford their medications.
