Relieve Mike and Tami's Medical Burden

Hi, my name is Krystal. I am asking for donations to help relieve my father, Mike Cameron, and his significant other, Tami Masterman, with their recent medical bills. Watch their Fox 9 News interview here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/braham-man-owes-47k-for-flu-treatment-on-norwegian-cruise-ship/ar-AA1y5Sw4?ocid=socialshare

Most recently, they won a weeklong cruise on Norwegian Encore from the Norwegian Cruise Lines. They were super stoked to go on this as it was going to be a celebratory vacation for Tami's recent diagnosis of lung cancer, which resulted in surgery to remove a mass from her lungs this past October 2024.

During the cruise, Mike Cameron fell ill, and his oxygen levels dropped significantly, resulting in having to be admitted into the cruise's medical ICU. At that time, he received oxygen, had a catheter placed (incorrectly), IV medications, and x-rays. Mike and Tami were then informed of a diagnosis of Influenza A and "possible pneumonia" (which was never confirmed). After his first night's treatments, his oxygen improved, and he felt well enough that he could quarantine in his room from there on out. Mike spent a total of 63 hours in the medical ward and asked to be released each day, which they refused and would not remove his IVs or catheter.

After buying traveler's insurance, Norwegian Cruise Line's medical secretary reassured Mike and Tami that they are "covered for $20,000" and "no problem, not to worry" that they are covered. On the last day of the cruise, they received a medical bill totaling $47,638.79. Norwegian Cruise Line took it upon themselves to max out both of their credit cards that were on file, totaling around $26,000.

At this point, neither their traveler's insurance nor their personal health insurance will cover the medical treatments received. Their traveler's insurance wants their personal insurance to pay first, but their insurance states it's "abroad" and not within their network.

All money earned will go to help out with their medical expenses.
