HEY!
We love what you do, and we should connect to explore how we can collaborate to help people.

We are a charity that provides flights for loved ones to be together for a final goodbye.

The cost of a plane ticket should never be the reason someone dies alone.

My kid sister, Jane, works as a social worker at the VA in New Orleans. She does hospice.

What a fucking hero.

She is the best we have.

No hate in her. Just love.

Put a face on the story. That's my Jane. She counts.

Tonight I watched a heartbreaking video of a woman in Texas pleading for help rescuing her bed bound & disabled father

He’s on hospice care, and their home was filled with at least two feet of murky water from the floods

She can’t move him without assistance. They’re stuck 🧵

When Susan's mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness, there was only one place Susan wanted to be: home in Brandon, MB. The last-minute flight from Victoria, BC, was a burden, but thanks to Lexus On The Park, we were able to grant her flight.

Here's an ABC News article well worth the read.

👉"... another way to feel empowered about death is by making an advanced care directive."

👉 "....or just sitting down at the dinner table and saying, 'let's talk about death'."

A fear of death plagues many of us, and gets in the way of us speaking about it and preparing for it, despite its inevitability. Here's how we could turn that around.
