Peyton’s Story

Peyton and her family make multiple trips from Pennsylvania to Cincinnati for Peyton’s medical needs. They have been lucky to get support from Angel flights and Ronald McDonald house, but sometimes things do not go as planned. They have had to find alternate accommodations, flights have been delayed, and they have to extend their stays. Our Medical Travel Assistance Program has helped with those unexpected expenses.

“Each time we travel there seems to be a little hiccup, and every time it happens I am so grateful for the Medical Travel Assistance Program. It makes the stressful situations just a little less stressful! We have food allergies and last minute menu changes at the Ronald McDonald House made us have to quickly scramble for other food options. It was SUCH a huge blessing to be able to pivot and to know that you all had us covered.

Peyton is a joy and a miracle all bundled into one! She just celebrated her 12th birthday. We are grateful for every single day we get to spend with her – each day is a gift! This journey is long and hard, but we get to have her with us, living and loving life, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you so much for once again supporting us as we travel to get care for Peyton and for everything that you do.” – April, Peyton’s Mom
