“I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cervical cancer in the middle of the pandemic lockdown. At first, I could hold nothing down and was in pain all the time. Beginning chemotherapy was such a relief. I was able to tolerate some foods and the medicines were doing their job. Then I started having more problems: diabetes, atrial fibrillation, asthma, and scoliosis. They said it couldn’t be cured, only treated like a disease.”

“I had to fly from my home in North Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia. My treatments are every three weeks. Recently, I had to switch to Medicare and they won’t pay for flights. My only income is Social Security Disability, and I don’t have enough to meet all my bills.” 

“Mercy Medical Angels and The Hogan Foundation arranged and paid for my flights to treatment. I flew with Delta Airlines, and my flight was great. I couldn’t have received the care I needed if it weren’t for transportation assistance.” 

“Everyone at Mercy Medical Angels was very friendly and professional. It really helps to have one less thing to worry about. Your service provides that space - I am very grateful!”
