Stories from Grateful Patients: Amy

October 5, 2025

In Her Own Words...

"Hi, my name is Amy. I live in Kansas City, Missouri with my two kids. In 2024, I was diagnosed with an atypical, rapidly-growing cancer. The best prognosis depended on getting immediate treatments. I was unable to recieve treatments in a timely manner in my hometown, so I had to look at other options. My best bet was at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas."


"The only problem was that my finances went down the drain from having to miss work for frquent travel to distant medical care. I am a single parent and the sole income earner for my household. Travel expenses and medical bills were piling up. I didn't know what to do."


"I am so grateful for Mercy Medical Angels as they aided in not only relieving the financial obligations of travel but also the stress of coordinating travel (for myself and a companion). Mercy Medical Angels has been part of my treatment and my healing and I will be eternally grateful! They are truly a blessing sent by God!"


~Amy
