You can help us reach our goal of 52 flights of compassion this holiday season.
52 Flights for Ryan’s 52nd Birthday
One holiday wish… the gift of a final goodbye.
Every holiday we cherish being with our loved ones.
What if you knew it would be the last holiday together?
What if the cost of a flight kept you apart?
This year, rising living costs are making a flight to be at the bedside of a dying loved one even more out of reach and we’ve seen a significant rise in applications.
A donation of as little as $10 will help us reach our goal of connecting 75 families this holiday season. This is the highest flight goal in Give A Mile's 10-year history; the maximum number of flights we have ever provided during the holiday campaign was 60. Help us connect more families than ever this holiday season.
