Free Clinic of Culpeper

Mary needs your help. 

Mary is a single mother raising three young children. Even though she works more than 40 hours a week, her jobs are part time and don’t provide health insurance. 

Recently Mary came to the clinic in search of medical care that she can afford. At her first appointment, she and our nurse, Becca, went over her health history and reviewed her medications.  Mary told Becca that not too long ago, she went to  the emergency room because she felt light headed and her heart was racing. She was prescribed a blood pressure medication that she has been taking regularly.     

During that first visit, Becca checked Mary’s blood pressure and it was dangerously high. Becca encouraged Mary to go straight from the clinic to the emergency room but Mary couldn’t because she had no one to care for her children.

Mary knows that her high blood pressure could be life threatening and she’s scared.  She’s afraid that without regular medical care, the medicine she needs and lifestyle changes, she may not be around to care for her children. Mary is committed to improving her health, and with your support, we are confident she will do just that.

Please make a gift today to help Mary and others like her get the medical care they need. It is no stretch to say that your gift could save a life … and a family!
