Stories From Grateful Patients: Tiffany

July 19, 2024
Woman with autoimmune disorders after seeing specialists at Cleveland Clinic

In Her Own Words...

"My name is Tiffany, and I live near the state line of Tennessee and Virginia. I have Long Covid and a host of other problems. I also have an autoimmune disorder, but doctors in my hometown aren't seeing the big picture. They referred me to Cleveland Clinic in Ohio."


"I have a single income home. Because of my health, I have to pay people to mow the yard and take care of things around the house when they break. Medical bills, today’s cost of living and paying for help - it all means that I can’t afford travel. It was looking pretty hopeless."


"Mercy Medical Angels' volunteer pilot program came in at just the right time. My pilot was great. I felt like he cared about me and wanted the best for me. He - and the rest of Mercy Medical Angels - made this trip possible for me so I could meet with the two doctors at the Cleveland Clinic."


"I couldn't have found the care I needed if it weren't for the volunteer pilot program of Mercy Medical Angels. You made it possible for me to see the best doctors there are. And for that, I am grateful."
