About Us - Our Story
My Mom was strong, independent, smart, loving, and caring. She taught me the value of money but sacrificed purchasing for herself so that I never went without. It wasn't until adulthood that I understood what my Mom had done for 18 years and beyond. Along with caring for me, my Mom never hesitated to help others in need either.
My Mother, Tina, was diagnosed with breast cancer in November of 2022. Her battle with the disease was difficult, to say the least, and brought on multiple hospital stays, trips 45 minutes plus for treatments, and challenging days filled with pain that she never showed any of us. Despite battling tough treatments, all she could think about was giving her nurses and doctors gifts for helping her. She never lost touch with her caring and giving ways. She unfortunately lost her battle on September 7th, 2023 but is with us daily.
The Fly High Foundation was formed to help carry on her legacy and to continue to help others the way Tina would. Along with watching my Mom fight, I have also been fighting Lupus for 10 years and understand the financial stresses fighting a disease or health issue can cause. Whether you live in a small town or a big city, often times when battling a serious illness or injury, you have to travel for treatments and appointments. It is our mission to help not only those battling but also those fighting alongside their loved ones. From gas cards to tire rotations, oil changes, food, blankets, games, monetary gifts, and more the Fly High Foundation is here to help. Thank you for your support and for helping me continue to honor my Mom the best way possible, by helping others.
