Lee's daughter has had her share of medical problems.  Uninsured, she & her husband eventually had to declare bankruptcy when medical bills from her past illness buried them in debt.  Because of this, she was scared to seek medical attention when she became ill again.  Lee shared with us her daughter was so ill she could hardly stand up.

A group from Lee's church volunteers once a month in our kitchen, so she learned about our clinic.  After weeks of persuading, her daughter agreed to be seen.

Through a blood test it was discovered that her hemoglobin count was dangerously low.  She was sent to a local hospital where she was diagnosed with extreme anemia and given six units of blood. It was also discovered that she needed a hysterectomy.  In addition to physical care, Lee's daughter recieved counseling and follow up care through our clinic.

Lee knows that God led her to the much needed help for her daughter.  "I was impressed with the way Kelley and the whole staff treated us with dignity and caring.  I saw that with every person who came in that day.  This facility & the people there are an answer to prayer for our community."

When she retires, Lee would like to give something back to the clinic by volunteering her time.  If you or your group are interested in volunteering at the clinic, please contact Ashley Gerlach at 402-817-0980 or  agerlach@peoplescitymission.org.
