Our Mission
Families facing the challenges of life threatening illness are stretched to the limit financially, emotionally and physically. The additional monetary burden of purchasing airline tickets is just too much.
Yet, how can anyone deny a loved one life-saving care solely because money is tight and medical treatment is beyond reach?
At כנפי חיים/Miles for Life, we believe patient care should not be compromised if superior medical treatment is located far from home. We are a matchmaking organization matching donors with mileage to ill patients and their families in need of travel to world class medical centers around the nation.
