Parents across America spoke out across the internet lauding

Miracle Flights for Kids® as a Healthcare Hero!

  "Well, I can't speak for anyone who doesn't know a worthwhile cause when they see one, but for us, Miracle Flights was the first organization that has ever come through for my son. He is autistic, and services for him can be very costly. While living in St. Louis, we contracted with a certified RDI consultant and began to see excellent progress in our son. Then we moved to Las Vegas and had to send video tapes and other forms of correspondence to maintain a long distance therapeutic relationship. This worked fine until it was time for his re-assessment. We were looking at over $1000 just for the assessment process, which had to be done face-to-face. It was then that I began to search for assistance from outside sources, something that I don't normally do. After we qualified, Miracle Flights paid for the round trip flight for me and my son. We have never been on the receiving end of this kind of enormous generosity and are very grateful to Miracle Flights for helping us in our time of need."

  "I was very satisfied with the service. Right now I would have been stuck in a hospital that could not fix my problem and could only keep me on a respirator, but with Miracle Flights' help, I had the surgery needed and can breathe again!  Thank you Miracle Flights!!!"

  "What a wonderful organization! My husband has brain cancer and his Dr's are at Duke University in North Carolina, we live in the upper peninsula of MI, and without Miracle Flights' help we would not be able to receive the care that going to Duke offers to him.  Miracle Flights has helped save my husband's life. This program also helps adults in need as well as children.  What a blessing it is for families that are going through such a trying time.  Thank you Miracle Flights for helping us receive the best medical care and for making our flights so easy.  Becky and Stacie are so wonderful they make a tough time less stressful."

  "I have used Miracle Flights for kids twice now.  They were wonderful. They were very helpful and very accommodating.  My daughter has a very rare birth defect call AVM - Arterial Venus Malformation.  We had to fly to Little Rock, Arkansas to the children’s hospital.  I don't know what we would have done without them.  Thank you Miracle Flights for Kids." 

  "I am from PA and have a serious condition which requires me to travel to my doctors in Texas every three months. The cost of flights right now is horrible. Miracle Flights has been able to get me to and from Texas several times. This has been a Godsend.  Without them we would have had to refinance our house just to pay for airline tickets.  I truly hope that none of you are ever in a situation so serious that you would need their help. On the other side… Please share this information with other people who may need their services."

  "We used Miracle Flights when my daughter needed treatments in Cincinnati and we live in Dallas.  I cannot tell you how grateful we are to Miracle Flights for helping our daughter receive the treatments!"
Thank you to everyone that has donated to this wonderful organization!!!"

  "MFFK is a wonderful organization.  My daughter has total colonic dysmotility and presently flushes her colon every day through a g-tube. She needed surgery in Cincinnati, Ohio which is about 874 miles away from our home.  MFFK flew us there to see the best surgeon in the country for her problem.  I can't thank them enough.  It is very difficult when a family has 4 children and one with very special medical needs.  She has spent much of this past year in and out of the hospital.  This really takes an emotional, as well as financial toll on the whole family.  It was great that MFFK could help us.  We all thank them!"

  "We are grateful to the many wonderful people who donate their time, hard work, and support to MFFK.  We have three children with a rare metobolic disorder known as CPT2.  We needed to travel to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas Texas and MFFK was there to help us every step of the way.  There is an enormous amount of stress living day to day with CPT2 and MFFK stepped up to help take a little weight off our shoulders seeing to it that we were able to fly our children from Illinois to Dallas TX.  We can never thank you enough for all your help and support."

  "Miracle Flights are angels in the sky.  My daughter has spina bifida and has to go to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia every 3 months to follow up with the doctors there and hope that they can prevent a very painful, high cancer and death rate surgery with their other treatments or at least prolong it as long as possible. Without Miracle Flights we wouldn't be looking at our miracle everyday.  THANK YOU MIRACLE FLIGHTS!!!  We are eternally grateful."

  "This is a great organization!  My daughter needs to travel from the west to the east coast every 6-8 weeks for medical treatment on her hemangioma. Without the help of the flights they have given us our family would be in a lot harder financial position.  I am very thankful for the help they have given us and think this organization is doing a great thing for families who need to travel great distances to get the treatment they need for their children."

  "We have used MFFK twice to travel to Johns Hopkins for my 6 yr old's treatment. Without their assistance, my family's financial situation would be much worse.  They have helped ease the financial burden that accompanies caring for a chronically ill child.  They have been a miracle for us, and I am eternally grateful."

  "This organization really does what they say they do.   They have sent my husband from CA to NC every 8 weeks for treatment.  They are saving our family thousands of dollars and they do it with warmth, love and compassion.  Some day, when my husband is in remission from his brain cancer and the medical bills are behind us, our family will be happy to make a donation to this wonderful organization. So, if you are well and able, please donate today."

  "Miracle Flights for Kids helped my daughter get from Illinois to Virginia for her surgery.  My daughter had a tumor on her brain.  It's a rare condition she had. And, that was one of the only hospitals that has done this surgery.  Being a single mom of 4, I couldn’t afford this on my own.  I owe them so much.  Thanks!"

  "Hello.  My 6 year old daughter was diagnosed with Chiari Malformaion two days after Christmas.  It turned our life upside down.  After some research we realized we needed to have our daughter seen at The Chiari Institute in Long Island, NY.  We live 2 hours west of Seattle, about as far away from NY as you can get.  We heard about Miracle Flights and we were amazed a how quickly they responded to our need.  They flew my daughter and I to NY and back, working around our scheduled appointments.  Their staff is fantastic. Someday, when we get past these medical expenses, we hope to give back to Miracle Flights."

  "My 9 year old daughter has had the wonderful opportunity to utilize MFFK since the age of 4.  She suffers from a very rare autoimmune disease, Juvenile Dermatomyositis and we live in NM and her physician is in Houston at Texas Children’s Hospital.  MFFK has made it possible for her to keep her wonderful physician from the age of 2 to present.  If it wasn't for the generous support of this organization, it would be financially devastating for me and my husband to have to find a way to get her to her appointments and consults every 3 months.  Please help these medically fragile children to keep attaining the best medical care by giving to an organization that will get them to their life-saving appointments for no cost to the family.  Unless you have ever been in this kind of situation, it is difficult to understand the pressure that this can cause a family, so please give to such a worthwhile cause."

  "My dad uses MFFK to travel from Phoenix to Houston for treatments.  He was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer in June 2007. Without the travel I would not be telling you now that he is doing well and we are so happy to have him with us still. The Dr.'s in AZ told us they could keep him comfortable, while in Houston they are helping him fight.  The difference is beyond words.  Thank you to all those who support this cause!!"

  "Any exposure for this organization would be beneficial.  They are able to help thousands of people purely through donations from others. Please try to spread the word in a positive way because this organization helps so many people and they can continue to help people only with the help of people like you; people who care about the well-being of others and want to help with the cause."

  "Miracle Flights for Kids has been a lifesaver for our family.   My 2 year old son has fibular hemimelia, a rare birth defect affecting about 1/30,000 children.  He is missing his fibula bone and half of his foot on his left leg.  Because of this, he was unable to walk, run, jump, or play like the other kids.  Fortunately, there was a hospital located in Baltimore that could reconstruct his foot and ankle, and lengthen his left leg, so that he too could one day play like the other kids. The surgery was extensive and required us to return to Baltimore every 2 weeks for 8 months. Miracle Flights for Kids was there for us every step of the way and flew us out to Baltimore every single time. They are an amazing organization and without them, my son would not be running around with other kids today!  When you have a child who requires such extensive medical treatment, the financial strain can be daunting. Without Miracle Flights for Kids, we could not have afforded to travel to Baltimore and my son would not have received the care he needed.  I also want to assure everyone who is reading this that Miracle Flights for Kids is a wonderful charitable organization, and like all organizations, some of the proceeds need to go to cover expenses; otherwise the organization would not be able to exist."

  "I have spent my lifetime helping others as an educator starting in the streets of New York City, then as a Principal in the South, and later as a Professor at three different state universities.  People always asked me why I did so much for kids, like taking a bus load of kids from a housing project cross-country on a camping trip one summer.  I always answered that someday I knew someone would be there for my kids.  Well, I became disabled and my baby triplet boys had to be flown across the country for medical treatment and Miracle Flights made it possible. Without them we may have lost our boys. Time to stop talking (blogging) and take some action - like opening your wallet for kids who need you."

  "Miracle Flights is a wonderful organization.  I have two boys with cancer and they just flew me and my oldest son with a brain tumor to his treatment in January and now we have to go back in July.  I don't know what I would have done if they could not have helped us out.  This is really one program out there that DOES help.  Thank You Miracle Flights.  My son would not have gotten treatment if it weren’t for you!!!!!"

  "Miracle Flights for Kids has been a huge blessing to our family. One of our six children was born with a Portwine Stain on the left side of her face. Thanks to Miracle Flight's assistance our baby has had 4 laser surgeries with two of the leading doctors in the field.  Miracle Flights for Kids has flown us to New York and California and, thanks to these laser surgeries, her birthmark has faded wonderfully. This medical condition still requires many more treatments/surgeries in the future.  As parents of 6 young children, it is very hard to pay out of pocket for all these laser surgeries out of state, and air travel.  Thanks so much, Miracle Flights, for making it possible for our baby to receive the medical treatments that she needs.  God Bless you & thanks so much!  God bless all those who have donated to this noble cause!"

  "We have used Miracle Flights twice for a therapy that was out of state.  Without Miracle Flights we would not have been able to afford the therapy.  As a parent of a special needs child it is hard to decide what we can afford and what we have to pass on.  How can you look in the eyes of your disabled child and say, "Sorry we can't afford to get you there. Too Bad."   With Miracle Flights we are able to get him to the therapies he needs to succeed without the financial burden that is always in our face."

  "My daughter recently received a flight through MFFK and we are beyond grateful.  Without this organization we would have had a much harder time getting our 10 month old from the West Coast to the East Coast to have an expert in the field treat her hemangioma.  I believe this organization is very thoughtful and I commend them for what they do!"
