"I had a heart transplant a few years ago. However, the transplanted heart is beginning to fail. I will need a second heart transplant to replace it. Doctors in my hometown said they couldn't help me. They referred me to Cleveland Clinic for further testing and eventually the second heart transplant."

"Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to afford the travel costs on top of hospital bills and my everyday living expenses. Quite frankly, I didn't know how I'd get to and from Cleveland Clinic."

"Then I found out about Mercy Medical Angels, specifically their volunteer pilot program. Not only did they make it possible for me to receive the care I needed, I was able to cross an item off my bucket list! I have always wanted to fly in a small plane and be up front with the pilot to be able to see what the pilot sees. It was amazing!"

"If it weren't for Mercy Medical Angels' volunteer pilot program, I would have had to cancel and reschedule these important medical appointments. That would have had a negative impact on my quality of life. So, I have to give a big thank you to the amazing volunteer pilots!"
