Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Another site to check, may be the same thing: www.GeneTherapyTravel.org says travel and housing arrangements thru Angel Flight America. You probably can't do better than a room at Seton Hall though. They were $35 a night.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Hello . I actually had them fly me to Cleveland from Cincinnati for the removal of my Brain tumor. It was so cool after I got over my fear of flying. The doctor at Cleveland wouldn't approve the flight home and the Lady my Mom spoke to actually made it possible so that I could be flown home. This was all free of charge. The first plane had 2 seats in front and 2 seats in back. It was really cramped. It was also very cold. My Mom and I peed before we got on board and it didn't matter. We almost peed on the plane. It was sooo embarrassing. The second plane was much nicer. It was a business plane. I think there were 8 or 10 seats and a bathroom!! The seats were great. Plenty of leg room and reclining was a plus. After we got back, we were going to donate something to them but the lady that was helping us wouldn't take it. The pilots donate their time so they can help people in need. It is a great thing that they do. I will try to find the info on them. I packed it in a box with my Cleveland souvenirs. I hope everything goes well with your daughter's surgery. Warmest Wishes, Billie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Oh great, I sure hope something worked out. Now tell me again who is going for treatment. I get confused between Ceretti, who is married to Ann, who has NF, and I think you have a young child named::??? also with NF? And then there is the Baumanns who have a son, Garrett, who has NF, had Rs and now is going to have MS at HEI. Just trying to keep everything straight!
