Dear Friends, Pilots, Volunteer, Donors & Passengers,
Last year, throughout the Southeastern United States, thousands of individuals required air transportation for medical purposes. Many of these patients lacked the financial resources to satisfy their critical transportation needs.
Mercy Flight™ Southeast, a not for profit section 501(c) 3 approved entity, has a corporate mission designed to meet this critical requirement, to wit:
“Coordinating free air transportation for children and adults with medical or compelling humanitarian needs.”
Mercy Flight coordinates approximately 3000 missions per year. Not every coordinated mission actually flies. Cancelations occur because of weather, patient conditions, destination facility issues, changes in patient or travelling companion schedules and etc. However, we must treat each Mission request as if there will be “wheels up” from the designated origination point at the specified departure time. Long before Delta coined the phrase “Delta is ready when you are”, Mercy Flight adopted this mantra as a core concept of service.
Mercy Flight pilots donate their time and aircraft at no cost whatsoever to those we serve. From the generosity of these wonderful pilots/aircraft owners we are able to fulfill our corporate mission. However, unfortunately Corporation has other material expenses. These expenses include the routine cost of operations (such as receptionists, secretarial assistants, rent, utilities, telephone, computers and etc.), as well as non-routine costs associated with community outreach, pilot recruitment and training, coordination with other sister organizations and fund raising activities. Incidentally, Mercy Flight receives no governmental assistance or funding of any type.
If we are going to successfully continue fulfilling our Corporate Mission we need your help. By following the link below, you will arrive at a destination that will allow you to make (in a secure and safe environment) a financial contribution to Mercy Flight Southeast. Please watch the video above before you consider giving. Because of the contributions of our pilots and Earth Angel volunteers, for each dollar donated from persons like yourself we are able to deliver $3.00 of services to those in need.
Sincerely,
Steve Purello
Chairman
