Often when we travel on Wings of Mercy flights, I am in rough shape - either in need of surgery or recovering from it. Each time we get the call from Wings that there is a pilot and a flight to help us get to our destination, it is a weight off our shoulders. The entire Wings of Mercy experience is a humbling thing, and these flights are the times I am always overwhelmed with gratitude and awe for the organization that Wings is, and of the magnitude of what these people do for patient's like me. Wings of Mercy could not have picked a better name, for what their board of directors, office staff and pilots provide is truly all a gift of mercy in a hurting world.
