“My experience with everyone.org (formerly TheSocialMedwork) has been excellent. My husband is battling ALS and they are able to source and deliver a very important product for us that is not available in the US. ”

Giselle Vargas (from Google review)

“They guide you and follow up from the time you order until the meds are delivered. It's stressful when you’re waiting for a package from another country which has to go through customs and FDA. The experts at Everyone.org (formerly TheSocialMedwork) dealt with all the details.”

Dan Dubansky (from Facebook review)

“Everyone.org (formerly TheSocialMedwork) literally saved my life. Thank you for bringing life into this world by helping people who cannot access a medicine only because of inefficient and outdated laws. Thank you.”
