April W. / Cordova, Tennessee
April was born with sickle cell anemia, a genetic blood disorder that is deeply painful and must be managed with proper medication.
During routine treatment, she developed an infection that put her into a month-long coma where she lost both of her legs.
Medicaid covered April’s treatment and her electric wheelchair, which empowers her in her new everyday life.
“Medicaid means I don’t have to choose between food and my medications.” April says. “It lets me take care of myself and my family, as well as advocate for others with this disease.”
