Man who needs dialysis to live after receiving gas cards

In His Own Words...

"I live by myself in my own home and money is always tight, as I no longer can work. Driving to all my medical appointments makes affording gas a hardship. I must also maintain my vehicle, as my life depends on getting to dialysis 3 times a week. Vermont is very rural, so medical centers, specialty offices and dialysis centers are all far away."


"Mercy Medical Angels provided me financial help in the form of gas cards. They make it possible for me to drive to all my medical appointments, especially dialysis, without worrying about the cost of gas. They're improving my quality of life, and helping me maintain physical and mental wellness."


"I owe Mercy Medical Angels a big thank you. You're giving me and other people a better chance to live."
