Stories from Grateful Patients: Monica

May 16, 2025

In Her Own Words...

"My name is Monica and I live in Oklahoma. I have intercranial hypertension. In other words, there's a buildup of fluid that increases pressure inside my skull. It really decreases my quality of life, causing me severe headaches, vision changes, dizziness, and more."


"I have to go to Texas to see my neurologist and follow up with my neurosurgeon. Unfortunately, I'm on disability and my monthly EBT allotment was reduced to just $23. Multiple trips to medical care was causing me extreme financial hardship."


"Mercy Medical Angels helped me by sending me gas cards. They helped me have a little more financial stability. I would not have been able to receive the care I needed if it weren't for their transportation assistance. All I have left to say is thank you!"
