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. Multiple government agents agreed something was wrong with my case and escalating; I never heard back from any of those people. I have since worked for months for case action, been denied, appealed, and denied again. They kept sending physical documents to me... as a homeless person who was without an address 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.

Since starting this GoFundMe, I have lost close to 70 pounds, have had at least 7 infections, had emergency surgery where they removed my gallbladder, have sleeping issues, and lost my mother figure in June. I need people to know that I did my best and was failed every time because all the blame is put on me.

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. 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, but the lack of accommodation needed for my disabilities is preventing that.
