Living with severe #LongCOVID for 5.5 years means every day is a fight just to survive. I rely on ongoing support just to afford uncovered medications, basic care, and the treatments that keep me stable enough to get through each day. Every share or donation helps: www.gofundme.com/f/robertlong...

Robert DeRosa, 42, was a marathon runner and teacher before long COVID upended his life. He fell ill after a Disney vacation to Florida in February 2020. Now unable to work, he lives with his dad and rarely leaves home. “You feel powerless,” he says. “No one’s fighting for you.” archive.md/n4120
