Stories from Grateful Patients: Wyolanda

Breast cancer patient after receiving treatment thanks to charitable flights

In Her Own Words...

"Hello, my name is Wyolanda. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021. The hospitals in my area didn't have the best treatments for me, and referred me to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas."


"That brought up another problem. I had no way to afford the costs of traveling hundreds of miles, even for medically necessary reasons. I can't work and am on long-term disability. Also, I'm a single parent - my child's father died in 2023."

"Mercy Medical Angels arranged and paid for a round trip ticket from my hometown to Houston on United Airlines. They made it possible for me to get the care I needed. Thank you, Mercy Medical Angels! You are saving lives every day."
