✨ Meet Valerie ✨

Valerie is a brave and inspiring young woman whose smile lights up every room. Despite years of pain from rare medical conditions, she lives by her motto: “It’s going to hurt anyway, so might as well have fun.”
Before Miracle Flights, Valerie endured unbearable pain, unable to eat without suffering, relying on a feeding tube, and facing diagnoses so rare and severe that most doctors couldn’t help. With Miracle Flights, her family was able to travel across the country to reach the surgeons and specialists she desperately needed.

After six life-changing surgeries, Valerie is thriving. Today, she’s a student at the University of Texas at Austin, living on campus, making friends, joining organizations, and finally experiencing life as a young adult. Simple joys like eating, walking, and even styling her hair are no longer painful.

Her journey isn’t easy, but it’s filled with hope, courage, and possibility thanks to Miracle Flights and the generosity of supporters who make stories like hers possible.

Meet Tayler:
Just two years ago, severe allergies turned every meal into a risk. With the help of Miracle Flights and the Southern California Food Allergy Institute, Tayler underwent life-changing desensitization therapy, and, in February 2024, celebrated “food freedom.”

Today, he plays baseball, is gearing up to join a pickleball league, and enjoys every meal without fear.

Meet Wally
Once full of giggles and curiosity, Wally’s world changed when he was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome—a rare, severe epilepsy. The only hospital with the expertise to help was thousands of miles away.
Miracle Flights made the journey possible—covering flights, transportation, and more—so his family could focus on his care, not the cost.

Today, Wally’s seizures are better controlled, his smile is back, and hope has returned.
