Hope in motion.

“This is an incredible organization! The founder is just a dynamo and so passionate about helping others it's contagious!

Shannon Leigh
“Flying For Hope is a god send. If it wasn't for them, I would have not been able to say goodbye to my mom who passed away. Thank you all so much, especially Susan."

Tami Porter
“Some years ago, I had extra tickets that were about to expire, so I offered them to family members. Susan thought, wouldn't it be wonderful to give them to a family in need? She took that simple offering and turned it into FFH."

Jay Wehr
“We flew to Houston from Albuquerque for cancer treatments. Because of Flying For Hope, I was able to fly over there and back. There has been a lot of flights we've had to take, a lot of expense, and I'd like to thank all of you for helping us out."
