Man after charitable flights to treatment for adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

In His Own Words...

"I contracted adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) a few years back. I went from one hospital to another to find treatment. There were great oncologist and hematologist teams helping me. They were about to start an aggressive treatment program, as the ALL was getting worse. But before they could start, all my teeth had to be removed."


"I've been traveling all over the country for medical care over the past 8 months. This is hard on my finances - I'm living on social security, below the poverty level."


"Mercy Medical Angels arranged commercial flights for me, using funding from the Hogan Family Foundation. Thanks to them, I was able to fly to New York City and take the first steps towards treatment. I've used almost every airline, and stopped at many hubs. My flights have been great."


"I have to thank Mercy Medical Angels, the Hogan Family Foundation, and all the airlines. The charitable flights they provide to those in need are saving and changing lives. They're saving mine."
