Community
& Care Access
Here at Status Unknown, we know personally how isolating being chronically ill feels. Between the physical pain, medical gaslighting, and missed opportunities in between, we understand how vital real community is.
Our goal is to create spaces, both physical and virtual, where warriors feel seen, supported, and safe to exist as they are. Where no one has to explain themselves, justify their illness, or fight alone.
Programs include:
-
A future Status Unknown Community Center
-
Warrior-friendly events (low-sensory, accessible, inclusive)
-
Online gatherings for those who can’t leave home
-
Peer connection and caregiver inclusion.
A place to come, when you need someone to lean on.
Direct Support
& Relief
Chronic illness isn’t just emotionally exhausting , it’s financially devastating. Medical bills, lost income, inaccessible systems, and constant emergencies force people into impossible choices every day.
Status Unknown exists to help close those gaps when the system fails.
Our goal is to provide real, immediate relief, not advice, not sympathy, but tangible support that helps people get through the hardest moments.
Programs include:
-
Emergency relief funds and micro-grants
-
Health insurance navigation and claim support
-
Help understanding coverage, denials, and appeals
-
Resource guidance for disability, Medicaid, Medicare, and employer plans
-
Annual relief initiatives (expanding Hope for the Holidays)
Because no one should have to choose between survival and dignity.
Education &
Lived-Experience Learning
Most people don’t understand chronic illness until it touches their life and by then, it’s often too late.
We believe education should start with lived experience.
Status Unknown works to change how chronic illness is understood by families, workplaces, schools, and medical professionals, not through textbooks, but through real stories and real voices.
Programs include:
-
Public education campaigns led by warriors
-
Workplace and school training on chronic illness inclusion
-
Provider insight sessions centered on patient experience
-
Online workshops and community-led learning spaces
Understanding is the first step toward change.
Advocacy, Policy
& Systems Change
Chronic illness is not just a healthcare issue.
It’s a human rights issue.
Status Unknown exists to challenge the systems that dismiss, disbelieve, and abandon chronically ill people and to demand better.
We turn lived experience into collective action, pushing for structural change so future generations don’t have to fight the same battles alone.
Programs include:
-
Legislative and policy advocacy
-
Public accountability campaigns
-
Coalition work with medical, legal, and human rights partners
-
Long-term development of a research and policy institute
We are done being invisible, and we are done being ignored.
Stronger Together
We Are Done Being Invisible
Chronic illness is not rare.
It is widespread, misunderstood, and systematically ignored.
The Human & Moral Truth
Chronic illness doesn’t just affect bodies , it disrupts entire lives.
People lose jobs, income, stability, and independence while navigating broken healthcare systems, inaccessible workplaces, and constant disbelief.
This is not just a healthcare issue.
It is a human rights issue.
Status Unknown exists to turn lived experience into visibility, isolation into community, and silence into collective action.
