Earth Angel Julia with Pilot Steve High, Angela and Mom
Took a Pilots N Paws on a deadhead leg (the return trip when the plane is empty) this weekend. I had to fly down to Ft. Lauderdale to rescue these dogs from being euthanized, because their owner killed his wife, then buried her in the backyard! These two dogs were seen by the neighbor digging up the body, which got the bad-guy caught! Good dogs!
They were adopted in Orlando. Steve

| Thanks Publix! | |
The supermarket chain Publix sent a much-needed grant for Angel Flight to continue its mission this week, written by our grant writer; Lincoln Annas. Congratulations and thanks Linc! Keep'm coming!

| We need some assistance! | |
The summer months tend to be especially lean for fundraising, and we are hard at work trying to find creative ways to raise much needed funds in this environment.
Here are some ways you can help, if you can't write a check yourself:
- Do you know any Foundations you can recommend to us?
- Do you know anyone who would be willing to put Angel Flight in their will?
- Do you work for a company that does planned giving, such as payroll deductions?
- Want to give monthly automatically? We can handle that!
Any leads are greatly appreciated! Please call the office at (352) 326-0761 x1500

| Vehicle donations | |
Did you know Angel Flight Southeast accepts cars, boats and even airplanes for donations? A very special donor gave us his wife's old car as a donation to make sure we keep reaching out and letting people know of our services, answer the phones for emergency and non-emergency calls 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and coordinate and re-coordinate thousands of flight each year!
To donate a vehicle, just give us a call at (352) 326-0761
