According to several studies, at any given moment, there are as many as 30 million Americans currently afflicted with some sort of rare or complicated disease that either shortens or alters their life. Worse, about half of these Americans are children. That means a lot of families with children who need specialized medical care, much of which may not be available locally. That is the purpose behind the creation of Miracle Flights for Kids. Sometimes, the treatment children need is too far away to drive and a family is unable to afford the high cost of airfare.

This families who have received the treatment they needed for their children refer to the good people who work with Miracle Flights for Kids as “Miracle Makers” because that is how they feel about them. That is, after all, the overarching goal of Miracle Flights for Kids is to ensure all flight requests are fulfilled for any underserved family who needs their help to get their sick children a flight to wherever the best treatment is. If your child needs help from far away, a Miracle Flight may be the hope you need.

Since they began operations way back in 1985, Miracle Flights for Kids has risen to becoming one of the most important charitable organizations in the country. Long established as the most important nonprofit health and welfare flight organization in the country, the organization has provided more than 100,000 flights to sick children and their families, covering more than 55 million miles. That represents a lot of financial assistance to families who can’t otherwise afford the cost of airfare to get to wherever the necessary medical attention is.

With the help of Miracle Flights for Children, a great many sick children get help from medical experts and second opinions that often save lives and bring healing. Not only that, but their families also receive hope that they're beloved child may love a healthier, longer life. No family with a sick child needs to watch their child go without healthcare because the care they need is 1500 miles away. The fine people at Miracle Flights for Kids will fly any patient who qualifies, plus two parents or guardians, to wherever they need to receive treatment, follow-up care or to get a second opinion. Eligibility for the program requires nothing more than a local doctor's referral, a confirmation of the appointment and income verification.

As much as they have done so far, however, Miracle Flights for Kids has an outreach program that asks for the help of people all over the United States. They want to spread the word about their services because they want to help many more sick kids get the help they need. It’s no wonder Miracle Flights for Kids has won a number of awards for their services, including many awards as top-rated non-profit, as well as humanitarian awards and even a couple of lifetime achievement awards.

There are numerous stories about extremely ill children who live in states where there is not a large medical community or specialist in the field they require. So, they end up paying for frequent flights from Tennessee to Ohio or from Utah to Southern California. This increases the cost of high quality medical care considerably. Miracle Flights for Kids is committed to bringing that cost down by offering free medical flights for kids and their families seeking medical care in other states.

For just 78 cents, a donor can get one of these children a mile closer to the specialized care they so desperately need. Miracle Flights for Kids is transparent with every dollar, tracking and displaying finances on their website.
