Imagine waking up, taking a shower, eating breakfast, and driving to work like any other ordinary day. Maybe you remind yourself to pick up milk on the way home or stop to buy your dad a birthday card.

Now imagine that was your last thought before waking up in a hospital bed, being told you suffered a seizure because you have a brain tumor.

Imagine trying to process that news while your family sits beside you in tears, hearing alongside you that brain surgery is now necessary. How do you even begin to comprehend a moment like that?

Now imagine this is your child — your only son. Your smart, funny, kind, independent son was suddenly airlifted to a hospital after suffering a seizure.

Life changed in an instant for the McCormick family on May 1, 2026.

Since that day, Michael has undergone emergency brain surgery and spent days in the ICU while his loved ones wait anxiously for pathology results that will determine the next steps in his treatment and recovery.

As they focus on Michael’s healing, the overwhelming financial burden of this medical emergency continues to grow, from ambulance transportation and emergency care to airlift services, surgery, ICU stays, and ongoing treatment expenses.

In the United States, a single medical emergency can create devastating financial hardship for an entire family. Medical debt remains one of the leading causes of financial strain and collections across the country.
