Stories from Grateful Patients: Melanie

In Her Own Words...
"I have multiple sclerosis, MS. Thankfully, I was accepted into a clinical trial in Houston, Texas. The clinical trial is with a biotech company and is some of the newest and most promising research for people with MS and other neurodegenerative diseases."
"I am on disability. Without the help from Mercy Medical Angels and the Hogan Family Foundation, I wouldn't be able to afford to fly to Houston every month for this treatment."
"Everyone with Mercy Medical Angels has been so helpful and wonderful to work with. They call me, and we work out the days and times of the flights together over the phone. It's fast and no hassles, a flawless transaction. I can't thank you enough. Your help is so appreciated. Thank you for all that you do!"
