My name is Micah. I am a 21-year-old university student who was homeless and couch-surfing for the last 2 years until July, while working full-time as well. While the gallbladder surgery was covered, I was kicked off Medicaid without legal notice or reason. Immediately after, I experienced a loss in health and quality of life, and multiple infections. I still have not gotten an explanation after many phone calls and hours waiting. My disabilities are still not treated and I am unable to find any affordable healthcare,, yet am tasked to pay for everything i need after losing my job due to this, and then food stamps as a result.
I have since worked for months for case action, been denied, appealed, and denied again. They kept sending physical documents to me... when homeless until July 1st, leading to denials before I even saw paperwork, and leading to more delays despite me fixing it multiple times on record, filling out everything online, and it being changed back without permission, thus being blamed on me and having no one stop to question the situation.
Since starting this GoFundMe, I have lost close to 80 pounds, have had at least 7 infections, and still am currently sick with an infection right now, had emergency surgery and more.

Having Me/CFS, cPTSD, hEDS, and daily constant bladder issues has made it hard for me to function much, and even harder to focus, even to write combined with brain fog. If I were to get adequate care and treatment, I would probably be fully functional and able to do everything I need to do like usual, of course, but am not even being given that option.


Currently I need , after losing my job:

  • Funds for multiple doctors out of pocket
  • funds for an attorney for discrimination, medical negligence, and more.
  • Help finding local doctors out of pocket for various issues left untreated
  • Urologist
  • New PCP
  • Functional MRI
  • Therapist
  • Silver rings fitted for hEDS
  • New chronic pain and me/CFS informed Physical therapist
  • me/CFS specialist or similar specialty doctor, hEDS
  • Funds to cover medical expenses and devices previously bought such as walker, medications, appointments, etc. thousands of dollars, with over $11000 taken out in student loans to cover previous needs, out of pocket, as well as resulting emergencies
  • funds for current basic living expenses or a job, i will take a donated job in this economy
