Hello, you may want to go to www.clinicaltrials.gov
Also the drug companies will help with cost.
They even helped me with my copays despite the fact that I had insurance.
You have to contact each company.
The doctor can help as well

Is there a source of finanical assistance that help wit a liver tranplant if one is needed for someone without insurance?

Just by a cursory search I did not see much. Sometimes you have to be willing to go to another state.
