All Canadians should have access to the healthcare they need, regardless of where they live or how much money they have. Hope Air is committed to providing families with flights and accommodations when they need to travel long distances for vital medical care. Hope Air understand how important it is to reduce the stress of people who are already suffering – so they can focus on their health. During the pandemic, they expected an even greater need as appointments are rebooked and job losses make travel even less affordable than ever.
Hope Air can help you if you are in financial need and live far away from your medical care. They provide free flights, bridge, and ferry passes (for PEI residents) and accommodations.
If your doctor says you need a medical escort for travelling, Hope Air also provide free flights and accommodations for that person.
If you are a health care provider and you’ve just heard someone’s child has been diagnosed with a rare cancer and needs to travel every three months for life-saving treatments, you may contact Hope Air for support. Visit their website at hopeair.ca to register and apply.
If you would like to support Hope Air’s amazing work, there are several ways you can support. You can help by setting up a monthly donation or continuing to donate. You can support Give Hope Wings, you can donate your RBC points or hold your own fundraiser. Any way you decide to give, your contribution removes the barriers of cost and distance that prevents families from receiving critical care.
