Hope Air

Medical Travel Assistance

Help meet a growing demand for healthcare access across Canada.

After a dramatic 51% increase from 2021 to 2022, the demand for support continues to grow at an alarming pace. By December 1st, we had already received more than 20,000 requests from patients across the country. That’s more than we’ve ever received in a single year, and there’s no sign of a slowing demand in 2024.

To keep pace with the growing number of Canadians in need of our support to access their vital medical care, we need to raise $350,000 before December 31st.

You can help us say YES to every patient with your empowering donation today. Your gift will be matched until December 31st*!

No Patient Left Behind

Equality of access remains a significant issue for Canadians living far away from large cities where specialized care is located.

With the rising cost of living, more and more people need our support to reach their vital healthcare.

So far this year, Hope Air has fulfilled 22,206 travel arrangements, helping 2,858 patients access much-needed care.

And we expect to exceed these numbers in 2024, if we have the resources available to do so.
Please donate today to help people throughout Canada get to their essential medical appointments, no matter the distance.

Help support stronger communities, reduced poverty and better health for everyone, from coast to coast with a donation today.

Until December 31st your gift will be matched*, having twice the impact so No Patient is Left Behind!

Make hope take flight

Better Health. Reduced Poverty. Stronger Communities.

Better Health

Tammy, Hope Air patient, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador

“When I think about Hope Air and what they’ve done, I just get a feeling that people are good and there are people out there when you’re struggling who are more than willing to help. It’s probably saved my life.”

Reduced Poverty

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

“We go every 10 days. It’s very costly, you’re wearing down your vehicle and between the cost of hotels and fuel it quickly adds up. Without Hope Air, that is what we would have had to do to save our child’s life.”

Stronger Communities

Rob, Timmins, Ontario

“For the first time the fact that we lived in this beautiful part of the world meant we were at a disadvantage. I worried if we could afford it, whether the car travel would be hard on my health and recovery, whether we would have to sell our house and move.”
