Hope Air

Medical Travel Assistance

Millions of Canadians living far from specialized care are left out of our healthcare system. Hope Air provides free travel supports, ensuring everyone gets the care they need.

Last year, Hope Air travel arrangements soared to 24,988, increasing 144% over the previous year. In the first 10 months of 2024, we delivered 38,500 travel arrangements—surpassing our total program and service delivery for ALL of 2023.

So far, every eligible travel request has been met, but immediate challenges persist in supporting patients where demand is highest and as the need continue to grow.

Your donation goes beyond immediate help, it builds stronger communities, reduces poverty, and improves health for everyone, from coast to coast. To see our impact across the country and in your community, use our searchable map.

Better Health. Reduced Poverty. Stronger Communities.

Better Health

Heidi, mother to Hope Air patient Zoe, Windsor, Ontario

“Zoe has a very rare bone marrow failure disease called diamond black-fan anemia. She needs a bone marrow transplant or regular blood transfusions.

We have to go every 10 days to SickKids hospital in Toronto for Zoe’s transfusions.”

Reduced Poverty

River, mother to Hope Air Patient Brooklynn, Robson, BC

“At first, we had no idea what her future was going to look like. We were going for bone marrow biopsies and blood work.

It saved my child’s life. Thank you, Hope Air, for getting us to our appointments throughout the years.”

Stronger Communities

Ihab, father to Hope Air patient Victor, Charlottetown, PEI

“My son needed treatment, but I didn’t know how we would get there. If I miss work for one day I cannot pay the rent.

Thanks to Hope Air, we could see the specialist Victor needed. It was a great relief.”

We acknowledge that we live and work on the unceded, traditional territories of many Indigenous peoples. We are grateful for the privilege of being on lands that these peoples have nurtured since time immemorial.
