Support organization
Angel Flight West arranges free volunteer-pilot flights, selected commercial airline travel, and in some cases volunteer ground transportation for non-emergency medical care across the western United States. A child age 0–18 with B-ALL can qualify when the family is within the 12-state service area and has financial need or another compelling transportation barrier, while the child is medically stable and able to use the available aircraft safely. A family member, patient, or healthcare worker checks eligibility and submits an online flight request, after which a coordinator confirms the medical and travel details and attempts to schedule the trip.
Provides the family assistance described in the organization's verified program pages.
Western charitable aviation network arranging free volunteer-pilot, commercial-airline, camp, safety-relocation, caregiver, transplant, and ground-connection travel.
