Stories from Grateful Patients: Clara

In Her Own Words...
"Hi, my name's Clara and I live in Arkansas. Recently, I broke my jawbone and needed to get surgery. The best doctors that could help me were out of state and I had no way to get there."
"Mercy Medical Angels was of great help to me, twice! The first time, they paid for gas cards. The gas cards helped me afford driving to Louisiana for my jaw surgery. Then when I had a post-op appointment, they helped me for the second time by sending me more gas cards."
"Since then, my quality of life has improved and I have more financial stabilty. Thank you to the entire Mercy Medical Angels team, both staff and donors, for all you do!"
