Travel for a Cause

Since 1972, Mercy Medical Angels has been removing the barrier of travel for patients seeking medical care and treatments outside of their communities.  We provide charitable transportation on the ground and in the air.

Each year, we receive generous support from several major airlines for our patients. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, many of our patients were unable to travel this past year. This has left us with a surplus of Southwest Airlines vouchers.

These are now available to you when you make a $150 donation (one way) or $300 (round-trip) to Mercy Medical Angels. All donations will be used to provide vital funds for our mission.  Make the donation by clicking the button above and add "Travel for a Cause" into the comments section. You will receive an acknowledgement email that you can use for your tax records.

(We ask that you please read all the terms and conditions carefully for additional details before donating. Travel must be made prior to June 30, 2021)

Terms and Conditions:

• A donation for a one-way voucher on any domestic Southwest flight (non-business class) can be made in the amount of $150 donation (one way) or $300 (round-trip) round trip, per person.  
• Several Southwest destinations may require multiple one-way vouchers. For example, Hawaii may require several passes depending on where in the United States you are traveling from. Please check Southwest’s website for ticket requirements for specific destinations: www.southwest.com
