Alexandro Ramirez, AFW’s Operations Manager, shares the importance of the Alaska Airlines CARE Miles program. Read about Alexandro’s first hand experience below and consider giving the gift of miles today.
Donated air miles have helped a mother and her seven children who are desperately fleeing an abusive and dangerous situation. They’ve flown a veteran with severe PTSD who finds healing moments at a specialty camp with other veterans who know exactly what he’s going through. They’ve saved a child who needed an adult escort to take her to a therapeutic foster facility. They’ve granted patients access to rare disease conferences where they receive essential updates about cutting-edge research, new treatment plans, and having a chance to meet patients living with the same disease.
Your donated Alaska Airline miles make a difference.
While AFW Command Pilots and Earth Angels are a unique set of volunteers defined by their extreme generosity and commitment to our mission, Alaska Airlines has been an integral partner in serving our Angel Flight West community. Our partnership has increased the reach of our helping hand, allowing us to serve people in situations that may fall just outside the scope of what we can normally take on.
Your donated miles enable us to fly more patients, cover longer distances, and reduce the financial burden of travel during times of crisis. I’ve called and booked hundreds of patients on Alaska Airlines flights, and I can’t tell you how many times, I’ve heard the person on the other end of the line break down, utterly overwhelmed by gratitude. I’ve heard the tearful relief on the other end of the line, as they describe just how much this flight means.
It is your generosity that can bridge the gap between illness and recovery — between isolation and the support of loved ones — between fear and safety. It takes just a few minutes to donate your Alaska Airlines miles, but the impact lasts a lifetime.
Join us in making a difference today. Together, we can ensure that no person must face their journey alone.
