The start of a new year is filled with hope — a chance to look forward and imagine better days ahead. For families facing a child’s medical crisis, however, the new year often begins with uncertainty and urgent medical decisions.
When specialized care is far from home, free medical air transportation for children can make all the difference.
That’s where Helping Wings provides life-changing support.
Specialized pediatric care is not always available locally. Families may need to travel hundreds of miles, often on short notice. For many sick or immunocompromised children, commercial flights are unsafe or impossible.
As a nonprofit medical flight organization, Helping Wings connects families with volunteer pilot medical flights that provide safe, compassionate medical transport for sick children — at no cost to the family.
Every flight coordinated by Helping Wings represents:
Access to life-saving treatment
Relief from overwhelming medical travel costs
Comfort and safety for children and parents
As a charitable aviation organization, Helping Wings relies on donors to cover fuel, coordination, and safety planning — ensuring families receive the medical travel assistance they desperately need.
Supporting Helping Wings means helping families focus on what matters most: their child’s health.
Your gift helps provide:
Medical transport for sick children
Support for families navigating complex care
Free medical air transportation when no other option exists
New beginnings look different for every family. For the families we serve, a fresh start begins with reaching medical care safely and without financial burden.
By donating to Helping Wings, you help power a mission built on compassion, generosity, and volunteer pilots who give their time so children can receive the care they need.
Start the new year by giving a child a fresh start — and a safe path to healing.
Helping Wings is dedicated to lifting the burden of distance for children who need life-saving medical care. We fund flights with the help of volunteer pilots to make sure no child misses essential treatment due to travel costs or distance. Together, we fly toward hope and healing.
