For 24 hours beginning at noon today and continuing through noon April 6, Arizona residents from all walks of life will demonstrate kindness and generosity, and foster a sense of community by participating in AZ Gives Day, an event to encourage philanthropy in Arizona.We humbly ask for your support of Mission of Mercy as part of this annual campaign by making a donation or creating an online fundraiser for us. And as an added bonus, any donations made on AZ Gives Day up to $2,500 will be matched by our generous supporter, the Ford Motor Company Fund. Our goal is to raise at least $5,000 during AZ Gives Day.

Invest in Us: Meet Lee Ann
When Lee Ann lost her job and her health insurance during an economic downturn, she didn’t know what to do about her high blood pressure because she couldn’t afford a doctor’s appointment nor could she afford medications.
As a MOM patient for the past decade, Lee Ann has been treated for high blood pressure, asthma, impetigo and a few cases of pneumonia and other illnesses over the years. She recently turned 65 and became eligible for Medicare, and Mission of Mercy helped with that transition, ensuring she didn’t miss any prescription refills in the interim.
“There is not enough money in the world that I could give to Mission of Mercy. I’ve been blessed with the most compassionate, personal care,” Lee Ann says. “Everyone at the clinic is a godsend, and they fill a great need within our community by serving anyone who needs their help.”
