About Give A Mile

Give a Mile is a registered non-profit in Canada and the US that offers flights worldwide, dedicated to reuniting those in palliative or critical care with their cherished families. Our mission is simple yet profound: we believe that in life’s most delicate moments, being with loved ones matters the most.

Imagine the comfort of being able to create precious memories and share final moments together. At Give A Mile, we make this possible by connecting compassionate individuals like you with those in need. Through your generous donations of frequent flyer miles, loyalty points, and heartfelt contributions, we arrange flights that bridge the gap between families and their loved ones in trying times.

Your kindness goes beyond miles and points – it’s a lifeline of love and support. Your donations cover not just the flights themselves, but also travel fees and taxes, ensuring that families can focus solely on what truly matters: being present with each other.

“An Evening of Heart, Soul & Food” is the start of our holiday campaign.

This holiday season, Give a Mile is committed to connecting 75 people with flights to be with their loved ones for the final goodbye. Please help us bring families together to create moments and make moments that will live on.

Details coming soon!
