Give A Mile Holiday Campaign: #52Flights of Compassion

This holiday season, Give A Mile is embarking on its most ambitious mission yet: providing 52 flights to reunite families facing the final moments of a loved one's life. We believe that the cost of a plane ticket should never be a barrier to saying goodbye.

Our Goal:

Inspired by Ryan Westerman, who would have turned 52 this November, we're aiming for 52 flights – representing 520,000 miles of compassion. Every mile brings families closer during a time when they need it most.

Help Erica Say Goodbye to Her Mom??

San Diego, CA to Grand Forks, ND??

Erica is a dedicated single mother of three hailing from California, who has just one heartfelt wish: to say goodbye to her beloved mom, who is nearing her 90th birthday. Her mom, living across the country in Minnesota, has been Erica’s source of love, support, and strength her entire life. She has been in North Dakota under the care of her sister since her health began to decline. Now, as her prognosis rapidly declines, time is running out for them to share these precious last moments together.????

Erica’s mom has been her “right-hand" through life, helping to raise Erica’s kids and providing endless support. Now, as her mother faces her final days, Erica wants to be by her side to say thank you and to hold her one last time. But as a current student living on a limited income, Erica doesn’t have the means to make this important trip on her own.??

Your donation can make all the difference. We’ve committed to making this flight possible, but we need your help to backfill the miles and funds used. With time being critical to get Erica on her way, we’ve temporarily drawn from our limited pool to make it happen. Now, we urgently need to replenish these miles to continue supporting future flights for families in need.?

Erica has received the gift of time, love, and closure during an extremely difficult moment. Please consider donating to help others like Erica make this final journey. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings another person closer to being with their loved ones one last time.?
