"My son Elijah is a very active boy. So when I saw he was having severe fatigue, body aches, and headaches, I knew something was wrong. After a week of doctor appointments and exams, some bloodwork came back that the doctor said was concerning. Elijah tested positive for autoimmune diseases."

"The doctor said Elijah needed to see a specialist at Cook Children's Hospital in Dallas. We can't find the care he needs in our hometown. I live paycheck to paycheck, so I have limited money for a flight to medical care. But driving won't work either because I can't take off extra time."

"Mercy Medical Angels helped me and Elijah by putting us on a flight with American Airlines. When I felt my world was crumbling around me, I felt blessed to have the help from Mercy Medical Angels. American Airlines were great as well. They gave my little boy his wings."

"Thank you, Mercy Medical Angels, for what you stand for and all the support you provide. Without you, I would have struggled to get my son to his much-needed appointment. I would have had to miss more work putting me in a financial struggle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
