Angel Wheels

Angel Wheels is a program of Mercy Medical Angels, a nonprofit charity, dedicated to providing non-emergency, long-distance ground transportation to financially disadvantaged, ambulatory patients who are traveling for treatment.  Gas cards and commercial bus or Amtrak tickets can be provided to eligible low-income patients. Patients must be ambulatory and require no medical monitoring or care en route.

If you believe you qualify you may apply online at http://angelwheels.org and click “Request a trip”.

A typical trip supported by Angel Wheels does not exceed 300 miles (one-way) and does not normally include trips within a local area or community. Exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis, routinely for cancer patients traveling daily for treatment.

Angel Wheels uses the following resources for assisting patients: gas cards (which offset fuel costs for patients), commercial ground transportation (Amtrak or Greyhound).
