Recently I asked you guys for help getting a friend of ours to Florida before she begins chemotherapy treatments soon. I asked you to donate miles or cash to make her trip possible. And you did.
Brian and I are in Colorado and he’s been too busy to tally everything but the support has been tremendous. If you have miles to donate we’re still taking them so please e-mail Brian (he’s the point man on this mission of ours) and he’ll get back to you as soon as he knows for sure if we still need your donation…very soon we hope.
Our biggest problem right now is American Airlines policy regarding donated miles. They place a limit on the number of miles that can be donated to an individual. Brian’s plan is to call and beg them to change the rule so this family’s entire trip can be donated. BUT, on the off chance that somebody out there knows somebody who knows somebody at American Airlines, I thought I’d let you know about this problem and give you a chance to be part of the solution. We’d love this rule to be bent for Judy and her family. Anyone able to make that happen can contact Brian at
Thanks for being Judy’s guy.

Hi Shaun,
As a matter of fact, I ran across a contact at AA today. Actually she works for American Eagle hiring regional pilots, but it’s worth a shot. Can you send me the details (at least full name), so I can ask about her situation specifically? Thanks!

Shaun and friends,
I just wanted to let you know Judy is home!!! The doctors said she’d be there 3 or 4 weeks. It has only been 8 days. She remains strong and her faith has remained even stronger. The prayers are working. I will e-mail updates to Becky.
Thanks again!
Kim
Shawn says:
Shaun,
I want you to know, that I left a heart felt email to American Airlines pretty much begging them to let up on the policy and maybe even pleading with them to help in any way they can to see this dream come true for Judy. I can’t offer a lot on this end, but I will be praying for a positive outcome and for Judy to get her dream fulfilled.

I hit every AA.com e-mail I could find.
Except I don’t know where to tell them that she is flying from?
Mr. Police Man says:
I was told today that points.com is the group we need to talk to. They are out of Canada. I couldn’t get anyone the single time I tried.
Shaun Groves says:
I’ll have an update soon from Brian. He’s got this thing figured out now I think. Until I can post that, thanks for the prayers and e-mails and concern. Thanks!
…Oh, and NUMBER FOUR blog? Who beat me?
