Stories from Grateful Patients: James

In His Own Words...
"I have chronic kidney failure that was a result of undiagnosed high blood pressure. For fifteen years, I didn't know I had high blood pressure. When I finally went on medication, it was at crisis levels. My blood pressure is under control but now my kidneys don't work as they should. I need dialysis three times a week."
"My dialysis appointments are in another city. It costs me around $90.00 per week for round-trip driving. I'm on a limited income, so it's putting me under financial strain."
"Mercy Medical Angels sent me gas cards. These really help to offset the cost of traveling for treatment. Having funds on the gas cards helped to alleviate a lot of my financial-related stress. Not only are they helping me have financial stability, my quality of life is improving."
"Thank you so much for helping!"
