Join Us for Our Spring Donation Drive #PayItForward

Our Mission: To give the gift of a final goodbye by providing flights for loved ones to be together during times of palliative or critical illness.

This year, we’re highlighting the profound impact of shared moments, especially during loss. We believe that sharing these stories can create a powerful sense of connection and empathy.

We invite you to share a personal moment that has left a lasting impression, particularly those involving cherished time spent with loved ones. We understand that memories of loss can be deeply personal and emotional. If you feel comfortable, sharing your experience could offer comfort and understanding to others. Don’t forget to include the hashtag #PayItForward and Tag Give A Mile!

1300 Miles Closer: A Daughter's Journey

Missoula, MT > Kansas City, MO 45,000 United Miles

Montana’s fresh air filled Shanna’s lungs, so different from the hospital smell her dad was breathing over 1,300 miles away. His booming laugh, now just a memory since his stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis, used to echo here. But Shanna wouldn’t just sit and worry, even as a busy student. Her dad, her constant supporter, was fighting for his life, and she would too. Memories of their close bond flashed through her mind. Then, Give A Mile offered a lifeline. It wasn’t just a ticket; it was a chance to be with him again, to hear his voice. This wasn’t just about feelings; it was a daughter’s way of being there, ready to face whatever came next, together. They had a tough fight ahead, and she wouldn’t let him go through it alone.
