Two-time child cancer survivor looking for prescription istance information?

This is a shot in the dark but I don't know where to start. My best friend's daughter, Cora(13) has survived leukemia twice, once as an infant and again when she was 11. She has been through large amounts of chemo and radiation and was fortunate to recieve a bone marow transplant. Because of God's grace, today she is doing well. However, because of all the treatment that she has recieved, she needs to take growth hormone shots daily for the rest of her life. Not to grow 1/2", but to ensure that her bones stay strong and prevent a boat load of other problems as she gets older. These shots are an average of $5000.00 per month. She isn't eligible for state insurance because her mother is not a loser and "makes too much money" acording to the state of WI. My question is, does anyone know of any istance, foundation, or advocates that could possibly give some direction as to what can be done financially so Cora can live her life without worry?
