Pass This Around... Angel Flight Is Ready To Help!
The volunteer Aviators
of Angel Flight(R) Southeast (AFSE), the 23-year-old nonprofit
organization of more than 1,000 volunteer pilots who flew more than
900 people in and out of the areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina,
wish to remind everyone of the availability of flights for
medical, emergency and humanitarian relief in the aftermath of
Hurricane Wilma. The Angel Flight Southeast Hotline is
1-800-352-4256.
Hospital and medical personnel, emergency relief organizations
and other government and charitable organizations in particular are
urged to call the toll-free AFSE Hotline Number above if they need
to get people and supplies to damaged areas or hurricane victims
out to other areas of the country.
AFSE is one of several Angel Flight(R) America regions, so AFSE
can connect passengers needing to fly beyond our five-state regions
to other areas of the United States.
Angel Flight Southeast (AFSE) is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3)
organization of more than 1,000 volunteer pilots who utilize their
own aircraft, fuel and time to provide free air transportation to
medical facilities for citizens who are financially distressed or
otherwise unable to travel on public transportation.
AFSE also coordinates missions to fly disaster relief personnel
and victims, organ transplant candidates; people involved in
clinical trials, chemotherapy or other repetitive treatment;
victims of abuse seeking relocation; those receiving help from
Ronald McDonald(R) Houses, Shriners Hospitals and many other
charities; disabled or sick children to special summer camp
programs; and for many other humanitarian reasons.
Last year, AFSE coordinated more than 2,500 air missions within
its five-state region. AFSE is one of six geographic regions
affiliated with Angel Flight(R) America.
