AngelFlightCentral

As the result of a conversation with my sister Johanna I asked on Noreens chatroom this evening about flight help if she tried to get listed at Loyola. Noreen came through in SPADES!! I learned of three non-profit organizations. After everyone left the chat room I went to look at their sites and have volunteered to help http://www.angelflightcentral.org/ . They are a part of angel charity network a 501(c) (3). I learned that sometimes it's not people needing organ tx or flying organs. It's sometimes sick kids to summer camps geared to them or just very sick people needing critical care they can only get far away.
