Gabriel, 20
acute myeloid leukemia survivor
I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia when I was two, and I still need to have regular follow-up visits. I am a part-time student and didn’t have insurance, so I hadn’t had any checkups for almost three years.
I never knew LIVESTRONG had services for young adults. It’s not like other places I’ve gone. The process was easy, and the navigator helped me find insurance that wasn’t too expensive. He connected me to an organization that could help me with financial assistance, and he also helped me apply for two scholarships that I ended up receiving.
