Kiki's Story

September 29, 2022

In Her Family’s Words... 

“Kiki is 14 years old. She was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2019. Her medical journey has been complex from the beginning, but she is a resilient girl who takes each step with such grace. Unfortunately, her medical situation became more complicated over the past year. This required us to seek specialists, trials, and treatments at several hospitals across the country.” 


“Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic helped us to fly to Kiki’s treatment in New York, then home to North Carolina. Kiki’s sister was able to join us on this trip; it was wonderful for the girls to have each other. Our trips with Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic were perfect. Our pilot was so pleasant, welcoming, and ensured that we were comfortable and informed. The travel process was smooth, and we all enjoyed our experience!” 


“We just want to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. This was such a weight lifted for our family, and we are grateful for your persistence in ensuring you found us a flight! Thank you so much!” 




-Jenna, Kiki’s mother
