Stories from Grateful Patients: Carol

In Her Own Words...
"This year, I was diagnosed with Leukemia. I had to get treatment in another city. My partner drives me for 70 miles round trip, several times a week."
"I'm unable to work, so my partner is our family's sole income. My partner is also my sole caregiver. On top of this, we have a teenage daughter who's still in school. We needed help."
"Mercy Medical Angels sent us gas cards. They helped tremendously. Without the assistance of gas cards for travel to my appointments, it would have been more of a financial strain on me and my family. Thank you, Mercy Medical Angels!"
