A
single Mom with two kids is a new patient at the Medical Outreach Clinic of
Summerville. She just recently was able
to get out of a physically abusive relationship and was now living with her parents
in Berkeley County. She was able to get
a ride to the clinic with a friend / acquaintance as her parents did not have the
means to provide transportation. The
“friend” who drove her to the clinic became very angry with her when she became
aware that there would be a bit of a wait before the woman could be seen by the
doctor. She told her that she could not
wait any longer and was leaving with or without her. This left the patient in tears and she really
needed to see the doctor and was going to be stranded if she did so. One of the volunteers at the clinic offered
her some money for cab fare which covered about half of the cost. ARC Change for a Dollar picked up the balance
of the cab fare bill to get her and the kids home safely following the doctor
visit.
Cab Fare
- Amount: $34.00
