My name is Sam Unruh. I am a 28-year-old, high-functioning autistic man living in Fairbanks, Alaska. In 2016, I battled stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma but was cured using chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In 2024, I began battling stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. I also found out I was nearly paralyzed by tumors compressing on my T10-T11 vertebrae. The tumors were treated by a steroid. I have received other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell transplant. These treatments kept me in Seattle, Washington for almost 3 months. This resulted in a period of quarantine in the hospital, a 3-week hospital stay after the transplant to ensure I remained healthy as I had virtually no immune system, and regular appointments after treatment before I was cleared to return home. I fully recovered and my insurance covered the brunt of the bills, but need additional support to pay my copay and an accidental overpayment from disability.
