My son had surgery to remove his brain tumor in December 2009. He had the surgery in Los Angeles in the hopes of qualifying for a promising clinical trial there, depending on how much his tumor had progressed. Unfortunately it had moved on from Grade II to Grade III, so we had made the right decision to go to that hospital. Miracle flights has helped us fly back and forth from North Carolina to LA every two weeks for the past two months, to participate in this clinical trial. Miracle Flights were very good at communicating promptly and efficiently, understanding our needs and trying to provide their service as conveniently as possible. When I first heard about flight assistance programs I got in touch with a number of different ones, but Miracle Flights were by far the most helpful and reliable service. I am so pleased with this fantastic resource!

My three children and I have late stage Lyme disease that has been misdiagnosed for 15 years. Miracle flights gets us to our specialist who treats tick borne illnesses. We woukd not have been able to receive treatment if it were not for Miracle flights. We have ongoing aggressive treatments including IV's for my 12 year old and myself. All my kids also on autism spectrum and miraculously improving when treated for lyme disease. I am grateful to this foundation for helping us.

Our Son Joel was born with short bowel syndrome and was destined for a transplant. Not satisfied with that outcome, I began to search for an alternative and found The Nebraska Medical Center. They specialize in intestinal rehabilitation. However, we were 1200 miles away and needed airline tickets for dad, Joel and I to go for a follow-up appointment. If it wasn't for miracle flights it would have put us in a financial bind as tickets were running around $500 a piece round trip. We thank miracle flights for the work that you do. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

My daughter is now 6 yrs old and was born with a Venous Malformation on her face. It is not a well understood or easily treatable condition. We were blessed to find a world expert in this condition and treatment for her.He has offered a cure for my daughter where as others have not been able. The set back is that he is out of state for us. So in addition to being out of network we need to travel to get her what she needs. Without Miracle Flights for Kids, we would not be able to afford to get her to the treatments when she needs them. She needs to go about every 2 months. The flights we have received have save us money that we can use for hotel. The staff at Miracle Flights are always so kind and professional. They understand the stress that comes with planning multiple trips for medical care, they take the stress of the travel plans away from me, so I can focus on helping my daughter and being there for her. I am forever grateful to this organization for what they do. As a parent you want to be able to provide for your children, especially medical care. Miracle Flights has enabled us to be able to this for our precious daughter. I don't know what we would do without them!!

Although our 14 year old daughter with special needs has had many health challenges in her life, we had never had to leave El Paso, Texas for services. When her local doctors recently determined that she would need extensive surgery with the Shriners in Dallas that was more specialized, we needed to find help fast to get her to her appointment in Dallas. Although we found out only a few days before her appointment, Miracle Flights for Kids was able to help us get flights to and from our initial medical appointment with no problem. We are appreciative and almost overwhelmed by how blessed we were with this organization. They went out of their way to help us, were so nice and understanding, and offered their help for our future appointments and upcoming surgery. God bless Miracle Flights for Kids and all those involved in this wonderful organization!

Miracle Flights was such a blessing to our family. My 2 1/2 yr old son has had health problems for over 2 years now. Medical resources are very limited where we live and the medical doctors here have not yet been able to diagnose my son. We have drained most of our financial resources for medical appointments, blood tests, medications, supplements, therapies, as well as airfare. We have been referred out several times to specialists that are thousands of miles away. This last time we did not have the funds and decided that if we couldn't get financial help then we just wouldn't be able to go (we had already previously asked for help from family members and felt we could not ask again). It was such a Miracle that we found Miracle Flights and they were able to assist us. The process was so quick. Every thing was approved with in 2 weeks. The staff was so friendly and made us feel really special. We are so grateful to those who founded Miracle Flights and all those who have donated their time, money, and miles! What a great organization.

Miracle Flights for Kids was a miracle for my family. If they had not been able to help us through all the wonderful donations we would not have been able to travel twice to Cincinnati Childrens Hospital from Orlando, Florida. I love whoever started this organization and all those who help out. I hope to some day be able to give back what they have given my family and more. Thank you very, very much. C Lovette Family.

Miracle Flights has been the angel in the sky getting us to my daughters specialist in Illinois. Without them I dont think that she would be doing as well as she is today. She was confined to a wheelchair just 2 and a half years ago, I am a single mom with little to no help from her father and barely make it paycheck to paycheck on top of having 2 other children besides Kaylie. They have flown us 3 times to Illinois getting us to the appointments and doctors that we need to see. Due to her illness she has to go in for a spinal tap every time we see them. They have always been helpful and do what they can to assist you in all aspects of getting to where you need to go at an affordable price. It costs me $100 for them to fly us to Illinois when 2 plane tickets would cost far more than that when we make more than one trip there a year. Honestly I dont know what I would do if they were not there to help us get where we need to go. I thank God that there is a program out there to assist all of us who have a child that needs to get somewhere else for proper treatment. They are a godsend and alot easier to get ahold of than other agencies I have tried to get help from. Thank you for all you do and all you will continue to do for families of children who need to see other doctors.
