Michael Hickson’s life was taken from him when staff at a Texas hospital decided his life was ‘futile’. Michael was refused medical treatment for #Covid_19, refused all life saving measures, refused food and water, and died.
Michael Hickson was a good husband and loving father of five children. He was beloved and needed by his family. Michael Hickson’s life was valuable.
Please help us elevate Michael as we call for #JusticeForMichaelHickson . Thank you.
