Yes! There are actually several grants and financial assistance programs specifically designed to help people with MS. You're not alone in needing this kind of support — it's more common than you might think.

Here are some well-known options worth exploring:

- The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation — Offers grants for transportation to medical appointments and emergency assistance for rent or utilities
- The Assistance Fund — Helps cover MS treatment costs whether or not you have insurance
- HealthWell Foundation — Provides financial assistance, particularly for those on Medicare
- Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation — Sends alerts when MS-specific assistance funds become available Beyond grants, there are also prescription assistance programs (PAPs) offered directly by drug manufacturers that can significantly reduce medication costs.

Some helpful tools to find what you qualify for:

- NeedyMeds.org — Searchable database of assistance programs
- BenefitsCheckUp — Free tool from the National Council on Aging
- Medicine Assistance Tool — Matches you with medication assistance programs
- National MS Society MS Navigators — Professionals who help connect you to resources

Talking to your neurologist is also a great first step — they often know about local programs that aren't widely advertised!
