"When Ariana was younger, she was burned across her chest, from her neck down to her waist. The burns were treated at the time. But doctors said she would need surgery and other treatment later."

"Ariana was referred to Shriners Children Hospital in Boston. Unfortunately, we didn't have the funds to get there. We didn't know how Ariana would receive the surgery and treatment she needed to heal her burns and scars."

"Mercy Medical Angels' volunteer pilot program made it possible for Ariana to receive the care she needed. They took fantastic care of us, from the time we applied to the time Ariana arrived at Shriners. The communication and coordination with all who were involved was incredible!"

"It's safe to say Ariana would not have been able to get to Shriners if the volunteer pilots of Mercy Medical Angels weren't there. They really were an answer to our prayers."
