Stories from Grateful Patients: Alexis
December 4, 2024
In Her Family's Words...
"Our daughter, Alexis, has severe scoliosis. Her spine is curved sideways at 59 degrees. She needs surgery to correct it. The pre-op appointments and operation were coming up soon."
"We couldn't afford the cost of gas to get to and from the pre-op appointments, let alone the operation. We're a family of 8 and low-income, so we needed help."
"Mercy Medical Angels generously provided that help. They sent us gas cards so that we could drive Alexis to get the care she needs. Her quality of life will improve very soon, and it's thanks to Mercy Medical Angels."
