Stories from Grateful Patients: LaDoris

Woman with multiple myeloma after finding treatment, thanks to gas cards

In Her Own Words...

"My name is LaDoris, and I live in North Carolina. Doctors diagnosed me with cancer - Multiple Myeloma, to be exact - at the end of August. They said I would have to go to another city for treatments. I didn't know what to expect, how long I would be receiving treatment and how many times a month."


"I also didn't know how I would get to my treatments. Fuel and food are expensive. My household bills also increased in less than six months."


"Mercy Medical Angels made it possible for me to get to my treatments by sending me gas cards. The gas cards really makes the three and a half hour drive, and my treatments, less stressful. I am just so thankful that I am eligible to receive help with fuel to travel. Thank you, Mercy Medical Angels!"
