PNW WINGS FOR ANGELS
Connecting with PEOPLE in NEED to give them a little more TIME
It’s not about money - It’s about time
The why
But need to be here
Fred Hutchinson Center for Cancer, Seattle WA
We don’t all live in the right place when medical issues arise. For some it is a grueling experience to just survive much less travel great distances to receive treatment. When life is tough people tend to loose their voice - let’s give it back by easing life’s challenges just a bit.
When you live here…..
The number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States is due to a medical crisis…. but not necessarily the cost of the treatment but the compounding effects of time on the our lives -
Loss of work
Time off with out pay
Cost of travel not covered by insurance
Your gift is the gift of time…. less time traveling more time healing.
Imagine traveling 200 miles with a 1 year old to get a heart transplant, keeping that child healthy using public transportation - now reimagine this experience with a volunteer pilot meeting you at your local airport flying you to that major city where that treatment is available arriving in 90 minutes. That is our goal, it can be yours also!
Together, we have the ability to do amazing things -
