A friend of mine ( 23 yrs old) was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in July. She has no medical insurance, but Medicaid will probably kick-in soon. She has also received many generous donations; however, this can only go so far since medical costs are so high. Does anyone know of any place to try to find funds or financial aid for a person in her situation. She lives in Brooklyn, NY. if that helps any.

Also, your local chapter of the American Cancer Society can hook you up with the resources available in your area.
Best wishes to you and your friend.

You can check with the hospital where she is being treated's social workers. Also, try www.leukemia-lymphoma.org. They may be able to give you some guidance on financial assistance.

Always the same medical insurance problem.
If you do not want these problems leave the U.S. and live and work somewhere else, for example in an european country. There people do not have these needless problems.
