Breast cancer patient after receiving treatment, thanks to charitable flights

In Her Own Words...

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Limited resources prevented me from obtaining treatment geared to improve the quality of my life. Local treatment facilities did not offer options that could get me good results with minimal side effects. I would have to travel from the East Coast to the West Coast so I could receive and continue treatment."


"Mercy Medical Angels generously donated flights. They made it possible for me to find the care I needed. The oncologists came up with a personalized treatment plan, and it's getting consistent results. It has been a blessing to not worry about the cost of travel. And my flight was great."


"Thank you for contributing to my journey. I have learned that sometimes we must rise above the clouds to gain perspective and activate healing."
