Describe the Organization's Mission:

Part 3 - Line 1

MIRACLE FLIGHTS IS A NATIONAL CHARITY THAT PROVIDES FREE COMMERCIAL AIRLINE TICKETS FOR U.S. RESIDENTS IN NEED FOR DISTANT MEDICAL CARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. OUR ORGANIZATION WAS FOUNDED IN 1985 ON THE BELIEF THAT NO CHILD SHOULD BE DENIED ACCESS TO THE LIFE CHANGING HEALTH CARE THEY NEED BECAUSE OF DISTANCE. SINCE THEN, WE'VE PROVIDED MORE THAN 137,363 FREE FLIGHTS TO PATIENTS WHOSE MEDICAL CONDITIONS ARE TREATED ONLY BY A HANDFUL OF EXPERTS LOCATED ACROSS THE COUNTRY, MAKING MEDICAL TRAVEL A NECESSITY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEED FOR OUR SERVICE GROWS WITH EACH PASSING YEAR. EVERY 30 SECONDS, A CHILD IS DIAGNOSED WITH A SERIOUS ILLNESS OR INJURY AND THERE ARE OVER 20,000 KNOWN RARE DISEASES. WE HELP TREAT ALL DISEASES FOR PATIENTS OF EVERY AGE. SIMPLY PUT, WE'LL FLY ANYONE WITH A COMPLEX MEDICAL NEED WHO REQUIRES DISTANT MEDICAL CARE AS MANY TIMES NEEDED.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

MIRACLE FLIGHTS IS A NATIONAL CHARITY THAT PROVIDES FREE COMMERCIAL AIRLINE TICKETS FOR U.S. RESIDENTS IN NEED OF DISTANT MEDICAL CARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. WITH THE COST OF AIR TRAVEL CONTINUALLY RISING, IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT 83% OF FAMILIES EXPERIENCE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP FROM MEDICAL EXPENSES. IN FACT, A FULL 61% OF BANKRUPTCIES OCCUR BECAUSE OF MEDICAL EXPENSES, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION COSTS. WHILE INSURANCE MAY COVER ACTUAL TREATMENT, IT RARELY COVERS THE COST OF TRAVEL. AS A RESULT, SOME PATIENTS WILL GO UNTREATED OR MISDIAGNOSED, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE CANNOT AFFORD TO GET TO THE EXPERTS WHO CAN EFFECTIVELY TREAT THEIR CONDITION. THAT IS WHERE MIRACLE FLIGHTS COMES IN. WE ALLEVIATE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF TRAVEL SO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES CAN FOCUS ON TREATMENT AND RECOVERY.MIRACLE FLIGHTS PROVIDES COMMERCIAL PLANE TICKETS TO ALL US-BASED MEDICAL TREATMENT FACILITIES AT NO COST TO PATIENTS OR THEIR FAMILIES. WE TAKE CARE OF SCHEDULING, BOOKING AND ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH ALL MEDICAL CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS.WE HELP TREAT ALL DISEASES FOR PATIENTS OF EVERY AGE. SIMPLY PUT, WE WILL FLY ANYONE WITH A COMPLEX MEDICAL NEED WHO REQUIRES DISTANT MEDICAL CARE AS MANY TIMES AS NEEDED.WE KNOW THAT FAMILY PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE HEALING PROCESS, SO WE FUND FLIGHTS FOR COMPANIONS AS WELL. FOR PATIENTS UNDER 18, WE PAY TO FLY BOTH PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIANS. FOR ADULT PATIENTS, WE PAY TO FLY ONE CAREGIVER OR COMPANION.TO ENSURE THAT WE ASSIST AS MANY PATIENTS AS POSSIBLE, WE WORK TO RAISE AWARENESS OF OUR SERVICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
