I haven't the slightest idea how to start this. This is a man's last-stitch effort to try and save his wavering ability to take care of his wife..

Bit of history:

Hi, my name is Noah Williamson. A 31yo man from Northern Illinois. All my life I've worked for what I had, my first car did not run, it was $300 and I made it work. I continued this trend through college and into adulthood. I've worked many jobs and neglected my own health while doing so in the name of "just working harder" and "pulling up my bootstraps". I am now regularly fighting chronic swelling in my spine from physical abuse and car accidents compounding the issues. I am on multiple medications for chronic migraines that can force me to be bed ridden. I refuse pain killer because of my childhood, it is not effective and only harms my liver.

I have been married to the love of my life for nine years this july; Samantha. Born in New York and growing up in Orange County California she's got quite the stubborn streak and personality. I wouldn't change it for the world.

However.. Sami has been dealing with chronic health issues her whole life. Ignored and neglected by her mother growing up, Sami ended up raising all of her siblings; the oldest of whom was 10 years younger than her. Cooking, cleaning, bottle feeding, diaper changing, disciplining and more. Just a few of the requirements her mother put on her as a ten year old girl. By high-school Sami had a week long bout of pain that her mother dismissed, ultimately leading to her own daughter lying in a pool of her own vomit. A neighbor with a heart called an ambulance and rushed Sami to the hospital. They immediately took an ultra-sound and rushed her to surgery, citing that "had you shown up an hour later, you would have died". Her mother's response? She was angry she had an ambulance bill for $1,000. Little did Sami, myself or her mother know this would be the first of many issues that her mother would nurture.

The psychological abuse only got worse after that. Sami's wounds got infected and "mother" refused to do anything about it. "mother" was and is a medical professional.

Sami was still expected to raise her pre-pubescent siblings while "mother" worked and lived her own life. Sami still has scars to this day covering her stomach from the surgery infections.

In 2017 I had had enough. I vowed I would give up anything and everything to get her out of CA and into my arms, far from harms way. I gave up my entire life as I knew it. My Christian family, my pets, my education, my stability. All in the name of her safety.

The following winter we were homeless. My family was not understanding and that was a risk I knew I was taking. Fast forward through the years we were regulars at the hospital. With no answers as to why Sami was so sick, and no insurance to get the answers we pressed on. Through the years we changed homes, cars, and states.

In 2023 I suffered a heart attack in the middle of a shift at a factory in Utah. Gaslit and neglected by Utah's shoddy medical practioners I limped home and we packed up my SUV the next few days. By January 2024 we were living with a friend while I healed up. It wasn't until June 2024 that I felt normal and back to full strength. I'm naturally strong but those six plus months after the attack I could barely lift a 15lbs cat..

After more time I spent working, my health started to decline. Caring full time for my wife plus working full time and dealing with toxic relationships; I was at my limit. We got Sami on Medicaid and we started getting answers

The second half of 2024 started what I deem "the end of our lives". Over the next year and a half Sami had over 200 doctors appointments that I took her to. Often driving 50-60 miles one way to see a specialist and we are now at the point that we are traveling to St. Louis, Missouri and Indianapolis, Indiana to get more specialists.

Throughout 2025 diagnoses just poured in... Answers we needed a decade ago were finally solving mysteries Sami faced her entire life.

Gastroparesis parading as an eating disorder, Hyper-mobile Ehlor's Danlos Syndrome parading as "natural flexibility", MALDS/F2 Cystic Fibrosis parading as vitamin deficiencies, poly-cystic ovaries brought on by decades on depoprevara ignored by "mother", a pituitary tumor causing visual disturbances and hormonal imbalances. MCAS parading as inconsistent allergies and making people think "she's faking it", cervical instability/radiopathy parading as muscle stiffness and carpal tunnel syndrome..

The beginning of the end:

In 2022 Sami was injured on the job. This started a multi-year dispute we ultimately lost because Sami couldn't fight them anymore. This injury forced their carpal tunnel to become severe, needing surgery. They had a non-covered surgery for carpal tunnel release. The nerve damage was too great and this $14,000 surgery now sits in her credit history while the company gets off Scott free. Domino's, you owe us for hardship, suffering and altering life.

With all these new diagnoses, we had answers but the damage had been done. We are now facing an MS scare.

We are facing homelessness as our apartment and bills fully rely on our friend, Aerin. Who is and has been a god send. However he cannot and should not sustain us forever.

We owe him for his hard work and time. Unfortunately our home is his home, so he is also facing homelessness.

On Friday, February 13th, 2026 I was hit by an unattentive driver and my work car was totaled. I have been doing Uber part time for nearly two years as it's the only job I can make good money during and still be at my wife's Beck and call with all her health issues. This accident left us with 8k in debt to Carmax auto and at severe risk of homelessness. I took on loan after loan while trying to get a job. Pouring my efforts into keeping the apartment and trying to fix our 1996 Pontiac sunfire so I can get Sami to the doctors she needs..

However last night I returned home after going north to work on the Pontiac some more as it is getting much worse.. During that drive the sway bar snapped off from the rusted frame of the ancient coupe. A ball joint came loose and the caliper pins snapped, shredding the tires in a way I've never seen before and damaging parts I just put on the car to try and make it safer. Wasting lots of money we don't have.

Tl;dr

I cannot afford or transport my wife for the medical care she needs to live, let alone carry a wheel chair.

We are in the middle of filing bankruptcy

We are on the verge of losing our apartment after losing my job and both of our cars.

We are trying to buy a new vehicle and pay off medical debt so I can return to work and get my wife the care she deserves.

If you read this far, thank you.. I appreciate you. I have NOT included everything as it's already way too long.. And I've never done this before. Thank you again,

God bless.
