Going the extra mile to help those in distress has never been easier. Because now, going the extra mile to do a mitzvah – is way closer to the truth than ever before!
Miles for Life is an organization that matches mileage donors to patients that need to fly for medical treatment. When all local avenues of care and medical guidance have been exhausted locally, when someone is critically ill; and the last chance of recovery lies in a distant place … every moment wasted by staying local is a critical one. The monetary component, at Miles for Life, is translated directly via mileage, and as such, every single mile counts even more so than a dollar amount. Moreover, mile for mile, there aren’t any overhead fees. Every donation amounts to a trip earned for someone in dire need of paid travel expenses. There are no hidden costs to passing on these miles. No losses, no overhead fees and no misguided mission statements. Rest assured that you know exactly what is being done with every single one of your miles. Each mile is simply translated to a mile traveled. Immediately. The denominations don’t lessen or get shortchanged! They are simply added up to send the next critically ill patient on his plane ride to a cure.
Fly Week, set to take place January 6th-12th will expedite this process tremendously. Without fanfare and without much preparation, cholei Yisroel who are already waiting to fly, will simply get matched with newly donated miles and very simply – just fly immediately! No more waiting for miles to add up in order to book the flights. Our goal of raising 200,000,000 will already be reached! The mileage will already be in our donor bank! No more waiting, no more hoping. Fly Week is about doing. Help us get there.
Consider giving all your unused miles, before they cancel or get lost in the small print, directly to Miles for Life. During Fly Week, operators will be standing by to quickly expedite your call. Let’s not waste another moment. The wish lists of travel itineraries to world-class medical centers, specialized hospitals and various high-risk specialists around the United States is robust and full of desperate patients waiting to be booked on upcoming flights. With each new donation a plane reservation is booked. With each new donation of a mile, new hope is breathed into those who have nearly lost all hope With this upcoming week of non-stop donations we hope to seal the gap and book all outstanding flights immediately.
Sometimes the highest form of giving is allowing those that seek to fend for themselves a way to do so. Miles for Life is a reputable way of amassing the means for every single choila to care for themselves in the best way possible.
