Cancer patient after treatment that she accessed thanks to gas cards

In Her Own Words...

"Since being diagnosed with cancer, things have been hard for my children and me. I went from being a person who takes care of myself to barely being able to hold up my head some days. I'm always weak, lightheaded, and dizzy. Also, I can't work."


"My treatments are all in different cities. I have to drive there and back, but I can't afford gas."


"Mercy Medical Angels has been helping me by sending me gas cards. The gas cards help me maintain financial stability, and my quality of life is improving with the cancer treatments. This rough road I'm on is smoother, thanks to Mercy Medical Angels."
