I was 18 years old with stage four cancer. Growing up in a larger middle class family money came in, and went out even quicker. By the time I was diagnosed the oncologist told my parents that there was a good possibility that I only had months to live without proper treatment. My father had health insurance, but they said it didn’t cover the treatments I needed. My mother was hysterical. If it wasn’t for this unbelievably nice woman who overheard my family, I probably wouldn’t be here today. She worked at a local nonprofit that took my case, and saved my life. Not only mine, but my family’s as well. Because it would have taken what little we had, and some to even begin treatment, and that still wouldn’t have been enough. These people are angels, and I owe my life to them. After I was cancer free I visited this place as much as I could, and when I couldn’t… I sent letters. I’m eternally grateful for them, and for many years I couldn’t understand how an institution there to help, and save lives could easily turn away a kid who was just beginning his life. There’s no wonder why so many despise the American healthcare system.

@ Northcoast Health Ministries. That’s exactly how my mother looked at them. I was the first born of 6 in a very close family. Like I said, they didn’t just save me, but my family as well. Anyone who’s gone through something like that knows the impact it could have on a family.
