Squilla il telefono negli uffici di Flying Angels. Un'associazione ci chiede aiuto per un bambino che vive dove non ci sono le strutture per operarlo. Loro hanno già trovato in un altro paese un ospedale pronto ad accoglierlo, ma non hanno sufficienti fondi per il trasporto del piccolo e del suo famigliare. La richiesta viene immediatamente vagliata dal comitato scientifico della Flying Angels, si certifica l’effettiva urgenza e necessità del viaggio, e lo staff di Flying Angels si attiva immediatamente per procurare i biglietti per questo viaggio della speranza. Questo è il nostro lavoro, è la nostra storia, che si ripete giorno dopo giorno, senza sosta, perché il nostro telefono è attivo 24 ore su 24. Portiamo ogni caso a termine in assoluta trasparenza, e oltre a dare il nostro aiuto alle famiglie che attraverso i medici segnalano i casi da sostenere, operiamo in collaborazione con altre associazioni umanitarie locali ed internazionali, che a loro volta forniscono il supporto sanitario e ci segnalano i bambini bisognosi di cure immediate.
