Help raise money for Chemotherapy for Michael

Donation protected
Michael age 32 needs help for what is not being covered by his health insurance.
Michael has Neurofibromatosis NF1, and in 2018 at the age of 27 when a bump showed on upon his right arm there was no concern. Because that is just part of having NF1.
In 2021 it had grown to the size of a golf ball, 2022 was the size of a baseball.
Then in 10/2023 it started to grow really fast. He then obtained health insurance, and called to set up Doctor appointments, there was nothing available for two months. By the time of the doctor's appointment the bump covered his whole upper arm from the shoulder to elbow, and he had lost most of his function in his right arm and the bump had turned a dark purple.
The day before the doctor's appointment the bump started to bleed uncontrollable, he had to be rushed to the ER. After a full day in the ER, the test came back as cancer. They couldn’t do anymore for him. Next day at his doctor appointment, he was sent to a hospital in Dallas Texas. Three days of test he was released because the hospital stated that his insurance was not in network.
One week later Michael again admitted to a different Hosptial ER in Dallas; they excepted his insurance but didn't have the necessary doctors. They sent him to nearby hospital that has the necessary doctors to treat cancer. He found out that the type of cancer he has is MSTP malalignment peripheral nerve sheath tumor at stage 4 which has spread to his bones and right lung making surgery not a viable option, that his insurance may not pay for it, and that he will need Chemotherapy and Radiation for the rest of his life.
