Stories from Grateful Patients: Diane

In Her Own Words...

"I have multiple rare disorders and the most pressing right now is a brain tumor. I've been traveling three and a half hours away for treatments. Transportation costs have caused great stress while trying to keep up with my health issues. It's been a struggle to keep my appointments due to the cost of transportation."


"I can't thank Mercy Medical Angels enough for all of the help they've provided. If it wasn't for this organization, I probably would have had to cancel the appointment, or have to use what money I have for food to cover the costs of the gas to get me to my appointments. One of my disorders is stress driven, and I can say, the help I've received has reduced my stress level tremendously."


"One last thing I would like Mercy Medical Angels to know is that I greatly appreciate everyone there! Thank you!"
