Why Are We Raising Funds?

Since 1991 Wings of Mercy pilots have flown more than 8,000 patient flights for Michigan residents in financial need. We match medical patients who are not financially capable to afford air transportation to distant medical facilities with volunteer pilots and aircraft owners, willing to donate their time and aircraft.

Did you know the average mission costs approximately $800?


“Amazing service and a great experience overall.”
