Do something good with your unused frequent flyer miles by donating them to help service men and women be with their families during their greatest time of need. In partnership with the Fisher House charity, several airlines allow you to donate your miles to personnel recovering from injuries sustained from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The donated miles will help service personnel being treated at a military or VA medical center fly home to visit their families during leave. The miles may also help qualifying service personnel receive free tickets so that their family and close friends can visit them at the medical center.
With the cost of airfare rising, this is a great help for wounded soldiers and their families. Fisher House's website has a listing of participating airlines. "The essential to budget travel is to plan onward. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Considering and spending our travel budget correctly is a main concern for most families. Reducing spending and expenses, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal finances is really small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, regardless of whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel costs!..". Simply click on the airline and you will be directed to the page to donate your miles. US Airways is stepping up to the plate by matching the first 1,000 miles for every 5,000 miles you donate (up to a max of 25,000) until December 31, 2010.
Started in 1990, Fisher House provides housing to family members of wounded service men and women recovering from war injuries. Built on the grounds of the military or VA medical centers, the comfort homes provide families with free housing so that they can be near their loved one during the stressful and difficult recovery period.
For more information on how you can help wounded service personnel, visit United Service Organizations' website. Mothers of soldiers in the San Francisco Bay Area can find a support group in Blue Star Moms, Chapter 101, the local chapter of Blue Star Mothers of America.
