Roots & Wings
We established the “Roots & Wings” program to provide travel (the “Wings) and related support (the “Roots”) to families whose child has been identified with a potentially life-threatening Primary Immunodeficiency that requires lifesaving medical care far away from home.
These patients often require transportation to specialized centers where they might reside while undergoing treatment. We would like to make life easier, reduced their burden, and enable as many children as possible to have a second chance at life.
There is no fee of any kind. If you would like to apply to “Roots & Wings,” please ask your physician to fill out the application below and email it to us at info@jmfworld.org:
