"My husband, Mike was recently laid off along with over a thousand others at Epic Games. What makes this different for our family is that Mike is currently fighting terminal brain cancer. Because of the layoff, we didn't just lose income—we lost his life insurance. And because his condition is now considered a pre-existing condition, he can't get new coverage."
"We should be spending every possible moment treasuring the time we have left as tumors are actively bleeding into Mike's brain. But instead, we have to rush to try and figure out our next steps."
Epic Games announced layoffs affecting over 1,000 employees, including Mike Prinke, a programmer facing terminal brain cancer. His wife, Jenni Griffin, revealed that the layoffs resulted in the loss of his life insurance, as his condition is now a pre-existing one. Griffin shared their struggle to obtain necessary documents and consider launching a GoFundMe campaign. The urgency of their situation is compounded by the aggressive nature of Prinke's illness, which requires immediate attention and support from the community.
