Friends of Angel Bus, an FMCA Chapter

Making a Difference

There are many people who, due to their medical condition and limited resources, need help to get to a distant facility for specialized medical care. For many of these folks, a motor home is the ideal mode to make this trip. The purpose of Angel Bus is to identify these people and put them together with volunteer motor home owner/drivers who can provide the needed transportation. Those motor home owners who have provided this service unanimously talk about what a difference it has made in their own life to have helped someone whose need was so great.

The main reward for participation in Angel Bus is the personal satisfaction of helping someone who’s need is so great. The comments we have received back from those who have been helped, and their families, shows what a difference it can make. To see some specific comments, go to the Angel Bus web site www.angel-bus.org and read their stories and the comments from their families found at the end of the item.

About Friends of Angel Bus

There are three different organizations involved in the fulfillment of Angel Bus missions. These are Angel Bus itself, the FMCA Friends of Angel Bus chapter, and the Angel Bus Support Group. Although the folks in these organizations support each other's efforts, there are no organizational interconnections between them. This separation is necessary for reasons of insurance, but it goes beyond that. Both Angel Bus and the FMCA chapter are part of much larger organizations that have other goals and making commitments outside their scope would not be appropriate.

The actual missions (trips) are run by Angel Bus, an operation of Mercy Medical Airlift, a national non-profit organization. They ensure that the passengers actually need the mission, that their condition will not be worsened by it, and that the driver is qualified. They actually plan the mission and inform everyone involved as to the schedule.

The Friends of Angel Bus chapter is an FMCA social chapter that is part of the International Area. We will hold rallies and meetings where we have a good time and share our experiences. In addition to having fun and meeting folks with whom we share an interest, we will also have a mission of recruiting new motor home owners for both Angel Bus and our chapter.

The Angel Bus Support Group has the mission of helping members of any RV organization start their own program to support Angel Bus. This may be a chapter within their organization or just a few members who spread the word at their meetings.

Anyone is welcome to join any, or all, of these three groups. We hope that all the chapter members will join Angel Bus to help those in need. If you are active in some other non-FMCA organization and are willing to take a leadership position, please contact the Support Group for help in getting something going there.
