“Several days before Christmas, the phone rang at Angel Flight, and the voice on the other end of the line said she only had 4 weeks to live. Her only hope was receiving an experimental drug treatment in San Antonio, but with a mountain of medical bills, she could not afford the flight. A few minutes later, an urgent e-mail would go out. Responses would come back in, and within a few hours, a pilot would be located. The patient would be flown to San Antonio for treatment. And upon arrival, a car would be waiting to drive her to the hospital. She would never see a bill for any of her transportation. Angel Flight is a nonprofit organization that offers free, long-distance transportation for medical care and removes the financial burden from patients. Its volunteer pilots are stockbrokers, realtors, private businessmen, retired Air Force pilots, commercial pilots, lawyers and doctors and others. Every year, on their free time, these pilots fly over 10,000 patients nationwide.”
