Question for pharmacists, oncologists, or anyone I guess...

A couple months ago, my dad was prescribed a "chemo pill" (gross oversimplification, I know) called Stivarga. Even after insurance, it was a $2,100 copay. We raised the money and bought it for him but unfortunately my dad got sick and passed away before we he was able to begin taking it. I am still in possession of a month's supply of this pill, completely unopened from the pharmacy with all of the accompanying paperwork. I know that if I give it to a pharmacy they will have to destroy it. Does anyone know of any "grey market" organizations that might be able to help me get this extremely expensive medication to someone who could use it? Feel free to send me a DM instead of responding here. Thanks so much.
