We have started a grassroots movement to get an unsafe medical device off the market. Our fight to get PMA revoked from Essure is gaining rapid traction. There are many times when we need to get to meetings and rallies and press conferences last minute. Traveling at our own expense has become quite a financial burden on many of us. When we have funds available, it makes it so much easier to take those trips!!
