Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Unlocking Autism’s Wings for Little Angels Program “Helping Those With Autism Soar†Medical Travel Assistance Program Autism is a lifelong neurological condition, affecting reasoning, social interaction and communication skills. Once thought to be a rare condition, the number of children being diagnosed with autism has reached an all time high, affecting 1 in 250 children in the United States. Finding medical professionals knowledgeable in properly treating these children can be a strenuous task for parents who often have to travel out of their immediate area to find appropriate care. Unlocking Autism’s Wings for Little Angels Program was established to assist children with Autism in obtaining that critically needed medical care. Wings for Little Angels has continued to assist parents and their children with Autism through the continued support of three airlines. Medical travel for our children is dependent on the generous support of airline travelers who choose to donate their frequent flyer miles. However, these donated miles are periodically depleted, during which time children who need assistance may not receive it. HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP! Your generous donation of frequent flyer miles will help a family already placed under financial stress. The responsibilities of caring for a child with Autism can be heavy, but you can help give our Little Angels the Wings they need to meet their full potential that they would not otherwise receive. Some airlines will allow you to donate directly to Unlocking Autism, while others have a " pool " of miles available for all needy children. Either way, our children have been given very generous support by all three of these airlines. When you contact the airlines, make sure to thank them for supporting children with Autism! To donate your frequent flyer miles to children with Autism: Midwest Express Airlines Miracle Miles Program: http://www1.midwestexpress.com/frequentFlyer/programs/miracleMiles.asp Northwest Airlines KidCares Program: Call 1(800)327-2881 and follow the prompts to donate American Airlines Miles for Kids In Need Program: http://aa.com/apps/AAdvantage/ViewMileageProgramsPartnerDetail.jhtml?reposito yId=100006 & repositoryName=AAdvantagePartnersContentRepository & itemDescri or=AAdvantagePartnersContent or call 1(800)882-8880 AA Customer Service If you have a child, or know of a child, in need of domestic medical travel outside of their immediate area, go to the Unlocking Autism Website (www.unlockingautism.org) and click on Wings for Little Angels.
