Dear Angel Flight Southeast volunteers and pilots,
I cannot thank everyone enough who has helped me get to my doctor appointments. Yesterday I returned home from my last appointment. When I first started going to Dr. Hashmi 14 years ago, I was too ill to take advantage of your great services. I required a wheelchair and was in severe pain ALL the time. It has been a long 14 years but have finally made it to a point that I am well enough and will no longer require out of state treatments. I am very excited to start a new chapter in my life.
I could not have afforded my continued treatments without the help of Angel Flight Southeast. Thank you to everyone who has helped along the way especially the pilots that helped me get to Stuart this week despite the weather. ( Dr. David Mauritson, Kilton Kingsman, Jane Wareham, Art Elliot, Gary Welkner, John Epley, Dr. Randy Cole, and Dr. Roberto Maal).
Being able to fly on these private planes (and on one instance a helicopter) has been exhilarating. I got to see so many fantastic sites. It has been an experience that I will never forget.
I wish I could do more to say thank you. If any Angel Flight Southeast volunteer is ever in Lafayette, LA and would like a meal or a place to stay please call me. I would love to give back to the people that have given me so much.
Thank you,
Danielle
