Stories from Grateful Patients: Natalia

In Her Own Words...
"I was born with multiple progressive rare genetic diseases that went undiagnosed for a vast majority of my life. At age 12, I finally received my diagnosis for a few. I began to learn how to cope with my new life of doctors, medicine, hospitals, and procedures."
"There are no local neurosurgeons who understand the complexity of my case as well as the diagnoses. Thus, I have the need to travel out of state and see a specialty neurosurgeon. But my only source of income is SSI and I can't afford the travel costs."
"Mercy Medical Angels put me on a flight from Tampa, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina. With their help, I was able to see the neurosurgeon. He operated on my tethered spinal cord and my quality of life has improved."
"Thank you to all the staff at Mercy Medical Angels - you're great!"
