"I was born with Cystic Fibrosis and struggled with it for years. Doctors told me I would need a double lung transplant as an adult."

"After a long time, new lungs were available. However, I developed an infection right before the transplant could take place. This disqualified me from receiving care in my home state of Missouri. I had to travel to University of North Carolina in Raleigh for this life-changing operation. The doctors said I would need to go back every year to make sure the lungs were working."

"This amount of travel got very expensive, and was a drain on my financial resources. I am on disability and my everyday expenses take almost my entire check."

"Luckily, Mercy Medical Angels provided me with charitable round-trip flights. They made it possible to receive the care I needed. I wouldn't have been able to get to this point if it weren't for them. Thank you, Mercy Medical Angels!"
