Stories from Grateful Patients: Roy

May 3, 2025

In His Own Words...

"I was a cross country truck driver and a father of 5. We were told I needed a new liver. The process started! One year of testing and getting ready started in 2022 and then Fathers Day 2023 the call came through that a donor match and it get to Houston for transplantation. At the time we still had finances available."


"But soon complications, more appointments, less finances. We needed help. It's 130 miles going one way and I couldn't afford gas for the drive. A retired pastor had me contact the United Way who then told us about Mercy Medical Angels and we applied for help immediately!"

"And they helped us out. I hate having to ask for help but it was a god send! I have peace of mind knowing I was able to make it to my transplant and follow ups. Thank you, Mercy Medical Angels!"
