Lung cancer patient receiving treatment thanks to charitable gas cards

In His Own Words....

"I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Many medical bills and lots of medicine, along with daily trips to chemo and radiation treatments, put me and my family in great financial hardship. We're drowning in medical debt."


"When I found out about Mercy Medical Angels, I applied for their help and was accepted. They gave me a pre-paid gas card so I could cover the costs of driving to treatment. It was a blessing to me and my family."


"We are so grateful. Please accept our heartfelt gratitude. It's making a huge difference in our lives. Thank you!"
