Airline Miles Donations


Airline Mile Donation = Paypal $ and Gift Cards for Adoption Expenses

No one ever knows how much they will love their unborn child until they are holding him in their arms.  What many don't realize is that for those adopting, it's like falling in love with the newborn placed in your arms right after birth and then being told that you can't hold or see that baby for another year.......or longer.

The process to adopt from Haiti is a long and expensive process but once a bond has been made, a decision to love a child has been decided, there is little that will stop a mom and dad from making that dream a reality.

People often want to know how they can help these families in addition to just donating cash.

There is a system now for anyone with miles or points from certain business points to donate miles for Paypal cards/cash that can be used for all adoption fees/needs!!! The easiest way to to this is through www.Points.com. There are MANY airlines and companies that participate with points.com.

This is what to do if you are interested:

1. Go to and register with www.points.com.
2. Once registered, link any of the participating airline or reward programs.
3. Go to the "Give and Redeem" tab and then choose Paypal or another gift card option and then choose the amount they want to give and it will tell you the amount of miles/points needed.
4. If you already know who you are donating to you can contact them to get the donation to them.  If you do not know who to donate to or would like to donate anonymously, please contact Shasta Grimes at shasta@themissionhaiti.com.  (T.H.E. Mission, Inc. is a 501c3 and can offer a receipt for you donation as well.)

Thank you and know that your miles will bring families together!
