Financial support to train and educate people on the effects of hepatitis a b c?

my brother died of hepatitis B and i feel the need to go out there and educate people about this deadly disease, especially encouring people to take tests and vaccinate against it.

Financial support to train and educate people on the effects of hepatitis a b c?
You can attend a liver disease support group and volunteer for them or an organization like the American Liver Foundation, Hepatitis Foundation International, or a local organization. I do this myself, but good luck finding someone to pay you. I do this because I've was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and went through the treatment. I feel blessed to have responded, and now want to educate others about this disease. I volunteered to do educational functions at my local support group, and have attended conferences and trainings, often at my own expense because this is a cause that is dear to my heart. You need to learn about this disease so you can give factual, accurate answers to people when they ask. There is too much misinformation already floating around on the internet and in society, so correct information is critical. Only with education %26amp; public awareness can we combat the stigma %26amp; ignorance that prevents people from taking preventive action, and seeking medical treatment, and advocating for more govt. money for health care. Best wishes to you.
Reply:Ok, but the Hepatitis Foundation is already doing that. So contact them and donate your time and money.

No one is going to give you money so that you can "train and educate people about this. You have to be with a legitimate group.
Reply:join one of the following EXCELLENT organizations: These are supported also by health care professionals.
