Need help getting flights for teenage cancer patient

[ithrowicecubes]

Hey sheepdogs. Long time, no see. I need your help.

A friend of mine's teenage daughter has gone through a horrendous battle with cancer over the last year. To top it all off, my friend (the mother) was laid off late last year, and the family lost their medical insurance and half of their income. They live in OKC, and they need to get the girl and her mother to MD Anderson in Houston on the January 16th for additional treatment. A generous coworker of mine secured their return flight on January 20th, but the rates to get down there on the 16th are pretty steep.

Does anyone have an airline or corporate carrier connection, or would anyone be willing to donate frequent flyer miles or money toward the tickets?
If you want to donate money, they family has a trust set up through MidFirst bank. The info is here: http://loreleidecker.com/support-lorelei

I can put you in touch with the family if you can help. Thanks in advance, folks.

Any update on this? I might have some airline miles if you are close. It would be on American Airlines.

This. I don't know how quick their turn around time is in securing flights (I'd imagine they're used to short notice requests). I work at an airport and we have a gentleman who does at least one Angel Flight per week, often to Houston.
