Stories from Grateful Patients: Tamorah

In Her Own Words...

"I was diagnosed 20+ years ago with Wegener's Granulomatosis, an auto immune disease. I have been close to death 2 times, but the Good Lord has not called me home yet. I began dialysis in the spring of 2025, and I go twice a week. It takes me an hour just going one way to get to dialysis, and the cost of gas was putting a major strain on my budget."


"I am ever grateful to programs like Mercy Medical Angels for the supply of gas cards they provide. They make my trips possible. Thank you truly, from the bottom of my heart, for the generous work you do!"
