Wading through going to a specialist in another state with a precious newly adopted four year old (castings, major surgery with hip sockets reformed with donor bone, 3/4" taken off each leg, hips put in socket, and feet flattened) is not easy on a parents heart. You hate to see your child in pain, even knowing the end result is a gift from God. Yet Miracle Flights stood by us with kindness and support. At one point (because of the unusual spica/body cast) we even needed two seats just for our son. Miracle Flights made it happen. To say that we couldn't have done it without them is the absolute truth. They are making a difference. Our son will be able to walk and they played a part in it.

I want to tell you that I am truly grateful for the noble work provided by miracle flights, because it has helped my family very much economically by providing the air transportation of my son and my wife to attend their consultations and surgeries in Galveston Texas, truly admirable is their Non-profit work and I would love that the people who within their means can contribute and help this organization my family and I thank them.

Unbeknownst to us, our 21 year old daughter has been fighting chronic late stage Neuro-Lyme Disease more than half of her life. Because the disease had gone untreated for so long, allowing other viruses to also ravage her body, she now has a very compromised immune system. During a round of much needed medication last year, she fell into a flare that she was unable to recover from. Her seizures also returned in full force, rendering her bedridden and in more pain. An MRI revealed both atrophy and hypertrophy in her brain which, along with her other symptoms and testing, suggested that the virus(es) had crossed the blood-brain barrier and were now causing Autoimmune Encephalitis. Thanks to Miracle Flights, we were able to fly to see a specialist and get the much needed testing that was unavailable in our state. Now she is awaiting IVIG treatment and will get the help she needs. We so appreciate Miracle Flights for their kindness and patience through the process! We also have to praise Southwest for their help with not only her wheelchair and front row seats, but for giving us an extra seat on the flight home to allow our daughter to sleep after a long week in the hospital.

My 8-year-old son has a rare childhood hip disease, called Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease, which has required several surgeries, restrictive half-body casts and the use of a wheelchair for over a year. Miracle Flights has helped us receive treatment from an orthopedic surgeon at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital who specializes in this disease. My son just took his first steps in 15 months! He is poised to make a full recovery, thanks to the support we have received from Miracle Flights!

Miracle Flights helped our family tremendously on our last trip. My daughter and I were able to take a quicker trip to and from our appointments that usually would be a 15 hour drive. This meant we were able to be back home with the rest of our family sooner. And the financial strain that the long driving trips made on our family were cut in half since my husband did not have to take off work to drive us there. Thank you so much Miracle Flights for your service!

Thanks to miracle flights I had a flight from Alabama to Washington State to have life saving brain surgery. I'm a 30 year old wife and mom of five children and I also have Chiari malformation. I began a quick decline progressively losing the loss of the use of my arms and legs. I had also started aspirating food and liquids everytime I ate or drank. I was to the point of being wheelchair bound and gtube dependent. I have regained my swallow ability and am getting stronger everyday since my surgery. I owe my life to Miracle Flights. I thank God for generous donors and supporters of this organization. My whole family thanks you!
