How you can help us this GivingTuesday
Partner with us this GivingTuesday and give the gift of a final goodbye.
In honor of Ryan, our organization's inspiration, his November birthday would have marked his 52nd year, we are setting an ambitious goal of raising $8,000 on GivingTuesday to fund 10 flights, bringing loved ones together for the moments that matter most.

How contributions will be used from GivingTuesday
Your tax deductible donation will go towards helping us cover the cost of round-trip flights of compassion, travel fees and taxes so families can focus on what matters most; sharing final moments with their loved ones. Please partner with Give A Mile in its mission to grant flights that connect terminally or critically ill people with their loved ones. You should be proud of the fact that you are partnering with us this GivingTuesday and giving the gift of a final goodbye by funding 10 flights in order for families and friends to unite so they can experience the transformative impact that a final visit can have on everyone involved.
These past flight recipients say it best:
“I cannot begin to explain how much this time has meant to our family. I got to spend one last evening just holding my husband in my arms and reassuring him that he is always going to be loved only to feel him embrace and kiss me while a single tear rolled down his cheek. Even though you cannot see it, we cried and held each other until I had to catch our flight. Thank you all for giving my family this opportunity to be with him again”
“Without Give A Mile’s help I would have never been able to see my
mom and she would not
have been able to pass in peace. I cannot express how much the
trip meant to us. Thank you so
much for everything you guys do.”
What is GivingTuesday?
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: A day that encourages people to do good. Over the decade, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. The mission is to strive to build a world in which the power of generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking opportunity, and equity around the globe.
Our GivingTuesday Call to Action
For as little as $20, your kind gift will contribute towards helping us meet our goal and make someone's last holiday wish of their life come true. Every donation helps individuals share their heartwarming flight story. Be a part of it!
Give A Mile in the United States has facilitated more than 128 flights since 2020, enabling 1,135 people to focus on quality time with their loved ones rather than the financial and logistical burdens of travel. Give A Mile mobilizes a community of individual donors and corporate sponsors to contribute to a cause that transforms end-of-life experiences into moments of peace, love, and dignity for both the departing and those they leave behind.
We would be so grateful if you would also SHARE our campaign with your family, friends and co-workers with your social networks so we can meet our GivingTuesday goal!
On behalf of Give A Mile, we appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness.
