Mark Weiss of ComicBooks For Kids! writes, At ComicBooks For Kids! we do our best every day to put smiles on the faces of children. We cant impact the physiological but we can try to positively impact the state of mind and well being of a child. For the time they have that comic book, they leave the confines of that hospital bed and fight super villains, battle dragons and ride ponies.

So we are humbled to announce that we are working with an organization that does save lives. ComicBooks for Kids! is officially working with Wings Of Hope, an organization that provides medical transport to those who need it the most.

What does Wings of Hope do? Their mission statement is, "Wings of Hope changes and saves lives through the power of aviation." The Wings of Hope Medical Relief & Air Transport (MAT) Program provides medical air transport services, free of charge, to individuals who need specialized medical care that is not available to them locally. Using aircraft specially outfitted with stretchers to accommodate fragile and non-ambulatory patients, they fly individuals to hospitals and treatment centers in 26 states within a 600-mile radius of their St. Louis headquarters. The majority of their patients are children with congenital disorders, and rare or life-threatening health conditions. Once they start transporting these individuals, they commit to transporting them to post-op ca. re and treatment for as long as necessary.

So working closely with the team there, ComicBooks For Kids! is now providing comic books of all ages including Spanish and Bilingual materials on all of their planes. Any child on any of their planes will be able to enjoy comic books on their way to any of the treatment centers that Wings Of Hope flies to.

Mark Weiss, president and founder was quoted as saying,"While hospitals and cancer centers are still our primary mission, we will still continue to provide smiles to children requiring medical attention wherever and whenever we can".
