When a service member is seriously wounded and hospitalized, their journey to recovery can be hard, lonely, and filled with challenges that test their body, mind and spirit. Having a loved one there to support them can have a huge impact on their healing process, but most families cannot afford to fly back and forth during their long recovery. This is where organizations like Luke's Wings come in, providing flights to family members to ensure that wounded, ill, and injured service members are not alone and surrounded by their loved ones.
Fletcher Gill, co-founder of Luke’s Wings, is joining host Jamie Truman on the show to talk about the profound impact the organization has had on service members and their families. Luke’s Wings has provided a total of over 16,000 flights, but they’re hoping to do so much more for veterans with cancer, substance abuse issues, sexual trauma and more. They’re not just buying plane tickets, but uniting families and tackling issues like suicide and divorce.
As Fletcher shares moving stories of the service members and families Luke’s Wings has supported, you might feel inspired to join their mission. So tune in to find out how you can help!
