In addition to the high cost of health care, there are all sorts of unforeseen expenses, including travel and transportation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A patient\u2019s care can sometimes be a plane ride away, and for some, the price of airfare may be a deciding factor on whether they get the care they deserve. That\u2019s where <a href=\"https:\/\/angelflighteast.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Angel Flight East<\/a> comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Established in 1992, Angel Flight East provides free air transportation for those in need of treatment and medical care far from home. Patients who demonstrate financial need are matched with one of the organization\u2019s 400 registered volunteer pilots. The group has a 14-state reach on the East Coast, from Maine to Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way,\u201d explains Angel Flight East Outreach and Events Director, Jessica Ames. In its first year, the organization flew just 17 flights, and now they schedule more than 1,200 flights annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of these flights, Ames explains, are for patients who need to get to their cancer treatments and follow-up appointments. \u201cWe fly a lot of kids with rare diseases to places like Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia and Boston Children\u2019s Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">30% of Angel Flight East\u2019s passengers are children, but no matter their age or illness, the organization will fly a patient so long as they are medically stable and capable of boarding a small plane. Small flights like these are often the only choice for immunocompromised patients for whom flying on a crowded, commercial flight isn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"quote-container scroll-watch\">\t\n            <svg width=\"72px\" height=\"52px\" viewBox=\"0 0 72 52\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                    <g transform=\"translate(-405.000000, -1977.000000)\" fill=\"#02B5CC\">\n                        <g transform=\"translate(350.000000, 1278.000000)\">\n                            <g transform=\"translate(55.000000, 647.000000)\">\n                                <path d=\"M40.3135498,103.84 L40.3135498,83.2493458 C40.3135498,59.0250467 61.5991041,52.3633645 72,52 L72,62.9009346 C63.5341545,63.8699065 58.212766,68.1091589 57.7290034,76.708785 L72,76.708785 L72,103.84 L40.3135498,103.84 Z M0,103.84 L0,83.2493458 C0,59.0250467 21.2855543,52.3633645 31.6864502,52 L31.6864502,62.9009346 C23.2206047,63.8699065 17.8992161,68.1091589 17.4154535,76.708785 L31.6864502,76.708785 L31.6864502,103.84 L0,103.84 Z\"><\/path>\n                            <\/g>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/g>\n                <\/g>\n            <\/svg>\n    \t\t\t<h2>Angel Flight East provides free air transportation for those in need of treatment and care far from home.<\/h2>\n    \t\t<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On board, a flight will consist of just the pilot, the patient, and sometimes a caregiver. And while the crew may be small, the bond that pilots and patients establish during these flights is immense. \u201cOur favorite part of this whole operation is these people start out as complete strangers and they build lifelong friendships during these flights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The children who ride with Angel Flight East are, unsurprisingly, a favorite for many of the volunteer pilots, and vice versa. Ames recalls a boy named Brayden from South Carolina who was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye, when he was just a baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLuckily, Brayden\u2019s family caught it pretty early, and he was treated at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia,\u201d Ames says, adding, \u201cHe flew continuously for seven years for follow-up appointments.\u201d Brayden loved his adventures with Angel Flight East\u2014he used to tell his classmates that he had his own fleet of pilots. A popular passenger, whenever his family requested a flight, Ames says that his flights would be booked in mere minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donor support is critical for these flights. Because all pilots are volunteers, it\u2019s the staff behind the scenes that handle the coordination and logistics. <strong>Grants from donor-advised funds, like NPT\u2019s, help the organization keep administrative and operations costs limited.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are a travel agency of sorts,\u201d Ames explains, noting that the staff coordinates everything between the patients and the pilots, getting down all the important logistics before taking off, from the moment a flight is requested to their landing at the hospital. \u201cWe get people to their critical medical care and they never have to worry about annoying travel logistics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like so many other organizations over the past year and a half, Angel Flight East had to change course. In the early stages of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> in 2020, Ames says they had to shut down all flight operations for three months due to social distancing restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But many of the organization\u2019s volunteer pilots still wanted to help. Angel Flight East pilots started transporting PPE equipment by air to health care facilities that needed them\u2014everything from face masks to hand sanitizers. Ames estimates Angel Flight East pilots have delivered upwards of 250,000 pieces of PPE to regions throughout the Northeast. The organization is now safely back to flying patients and making critical deliveries in disaster zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that, at its core, is what Angel Flight East is all about: having hope reach its destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><small><em>NPT is not affiliated with any of the organizations described herein, and the inclusion of any organization in this material should not be considered an endorsement by NPT of such organization, or its services or products.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><small><em>NPT does not provide legal or tax advice.
