Awake Foundation • Submission Page
Submit Your Story
Use this page to submit a factual summary of your experience. Keep your submission focused on what happened, what issue arose, who was involved, what documents you received, and why the problem mattered.
A useful submission is organized well enough to show that what felt private and isolated may actually be part of a larger public pattern.
Designed for mobile use, and formatted to print cleanly to PDF.
Before You Begin
The strongest submission is factual, concise, and structured. A clear story is more useful than a large unorganized file dump.
What to prepare
Approximate dates, a short account of the crash or event, the main issue that became the problem, names of the entities involved, and any key letters, emails, bills, or notices.
What to avoid
Avoid passwords, bank details, full Social Security numbers, and other highly sensitive data unless specifically requested through a secure process.
Suggested Submission Structure
1. What happened
Describe the crash or event in general factual terms.
2. What issue became the problem
Identify the main system problem that followed.
3. What you were told
Summarize the explanations or positions given by insurers, providers, employers, or billing entities.
4. What documents you received
Name the letters, claim notices, bills, lien notices, emails, or policy materials involved.
5. What pressure or obstacle followed
Explain what practical problem came next: delay, billing pressure, settlement pressure, missing policy information, or other harm.
6. Current outcome or status
Explain what happened next or where the matter stands today.
Submission Area
A structured form can appear here, or this section can serve as the intake instructions page until the form is live.
Suggested fields
Name, email, state, date of crash or issue period, summary of events, main issue category, entities involved, documents received, practical consequences, and consent choice.
Consent Choices
Private for research only
Use the submission only for internal review, pattern tracking, and project development.
Anonymous public use
Allow the story to be used publicly without identifying details.
Identified public use
Allow public use with identifying details only if separately and clearly approved.
No automatic publication
Submission alone does not guarantee publication, contact, or response.
What We Are Looking For
Coverage and claims issues
Low policy limits, “full coverage” confusion, delayed policy disclosure, hidden policies, work-vehicle responsibility questions, and MedPay confusion.
Medical and billing issues
Hospital billing, liens, collections, trauma billing, ambulance charges, and related financial pressure.
Settlement and release pressure
Situations where finality was pushed before the facts, treatment course, or policy structure were mature enough.
After Submission
What may happen
Submissions may be reviewed for clarity and relevance, categorized by issue, and used to inform educational pages, videos, summaries, white papers, and reform materials.
What submission does not do
It does not create representation, a legal-services relationship, or a guarantee of immediate action.
