To improve access to health care by providing free air transportation to hospitals across America; to promote awareness of our services through targeted outreach programs; to enlist the help of community-minded people through strategic calls to action.

As the nation’s leading nonprofit medical flight organization it is Miracle Flights for Kids’ goal to remove barriers to healthcare access and improve the quality of life for our nation’s children. MFFK works hard to forge the necessary alliances with donors, commercial airlines, and sponsors that provide us the means to fly children to and from treatment – as many times as required.

Through our program and outreach efforts, MFFK assures families with limited financial resources that their sick child is not without options.  We also encourage parents to seek out nationally recognized doctors who specialize in their child’s disease or rare disorder, and to get second opinions. MFFK believes a second opinion is an important part of determining the best treatment options available. That is why miracle flights are so important. That is our reason for continuing to grow.

The vision to help children in need, at a time in their young lives when other avenues of help and hope are closed to them, came from thousands of donors and volunteers across the nation. In 2007-2008, MFFK completed over 5,800 flights, an increase of 48% from the previous year.  Through your continued financial support we will be able to fly even more children in desperate need of proper treatment.
