“Just over a year ago, I was a dedicated physician assistant when a mild COVID-19 infection left me with severe ME/CFS, eventually rendering me completely bedridden. In my darkest moments—unable to tolerate light, sound, or even the presence of another person—I held onto hope through the relentless work of OMF’s researchers.

Thanks to various treatments, I’ve seen some improvement, but my fight is far from over. By becoming a Hope Builder and donating to OMF, I’m investing in my future—and in the future of millions still waiting for answers.”
