Getting Gleevec

Santa, Santa we’ve run out of time
You old North Pole guy I need a kind rhyme
Please Santa as little boys know
You grant surprises to good boy’s souls.

If ever you find Gleevec coming your way
Send me enough pills to take my diabetes away
Ask Dr. Veera to package this gift
with ribbons & bows so I’ll be able
to be the sugar plum kid!

Gleevec is a drug for cancer but it cures type 2 diabetes. I am a disabled veteran hoping to get this med through the veteran’s administration.

Thank you Avani!
