New here! Advocacy help please!

Good evening! I am writing on behalf of my friend who donated a kidney in the beginning of January. Unfortunately, she has had complications with lymphatic fluid leaking out of a tear (Chylous Ascites). Has anyone had this happen to them? If not, who can I contact to get more info/advocacy help? Thank you!
