Angel Flight West

Description:

Angel Flight West (AFW) is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization that arranges free, non-emergency air transportation within the 12 Western states for children and adults with serious medical conditions and other compelling needs. AFW matches volunteer pilots to people in need, enabling them to receive medical treatment and other essential services that might otherwise be inaccessible because of financial, medical, or geographic circumstances.

They can arrange "compassion flights" for individuals who need to visit critically ill or injured family members. They also provide flights to relocate survivors of domestic violence, to transport children and adults to camps for a variety of specialty camps (such as burn survivors and families impacted by HIV or AIDS), and to fly support staff and supplies during natural disasters or other crises

Everyone who flies with them must be medically stable, ambulatory, and able to board and exit the plane with limited assistance.

To be eligible for an AFW mission, a person must demonstrate a financial need or other compelling reason, such as an inability to use public transportation because of a weakened immune system or other medical condition, or living in a rural area that doesn't have easy access to commercial transportation.
