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.
