Flight Story #1500
Dulles, Virginia > Las Vegas, Nevada – $636.96 USD Cash – Frontier Airlines
When David learned that his younger brother had suffered a severe stroke, he knew he needed to get to Las Vegas as soon as he could.
Doctors initially told the family that Ronald would never recover into the person he once was, and then his condition worsened when Ronald also developed pneumonia.
For David, the news was heartbreaking.
He described Ronald as more than just his younger brother.
“This is my youngest brother… he my brother also my best friend.”
The two shared a close bond that was part of David’s everyday life.
“We would talk 3 times a day, text during the day… it’s been a week now and I miss his voice so much.”
More than anything, David wanted the chance to be with his brother during this difficult time.
“I just want to see him. If you can help me I would really appreciate it.”
But the cost of last-minute airfare was more than he could afford.
Living on a limited income while supporting his household, David shared that ticket prices were simply beyond his budget.
Thanks to the generosity of Give A Mile donors, David received a compassionate flight to Las Vegas, giving him the opportunity to spend precious time with his brother when it mattered most.
After learning his flight had been approved, David sent a heartfelt message to the Give A Mile team.
"I would like to thank each and every one of you for your help. I really appreciate the love. You guys have made my brother happy and blessed me. I love y'all. Again, thanks so, so much for your help and support."
