“One day we found a flyer that said HOPE Clinic and it stated it is a free service for patients with no insurance. We couldn’t believe it! Could this be true?!  HOPE Clinic gave us hope!! When we visited the clinic everyone treated my mom with such care, KINDNESS, and attention. Believe it or not we both had tears of joy.”
