Miracle Flights enables children with rare and life-threatening medical conditions to gain access to specialized, out-of-state medical care through commercial flights. Children are flown regardless of distance or frequency.

Adopted from China this past May, Charlotte is unable to walk due to her condition. The family has already flown twice to St. Louis, and has three more appointments scheduled this fall.

"We are so grateful to have the opportunity to get Charlotte the best treatment for her clubfoot," said mom Kimberly Peck. Our baby girl will walk one day because Miracle Flights helped her fly."
