our mission
At Flutter Club, we believe no one should have to navigate their healthcare journey alone, or be without a way to reach the care they need.
Our mission is to eliminate transportation barriers and ease financial burdens by providing travel assistance aboard The Flutter Express for people of all ages seeking a second medical opinion or navigating illness, developmental disabilities, or reproductive health & fertility. Support is available not only for those needing medical care, but also for their caregivers and immediate family members, to travel to world-renowned Healthcare Centers of Excellence in New York City and Boston.
We also offer care packages filled with essential travel items, comfort, and encouragement to support our sponsored healthcare seekers on their healthcare journey.
As a 100% volunteer-powered nonprofit, we foster a compassionate community rooted in support, hope, and generosity, because every journey matters, and we’re in this together with purpose.
financial assistance for healthcare seekers+
Through generous donations and sponsorships, we provide financial assistance for people of all ages seeking care at world-renowned healthcare destinations. This support covers the cost of riding with The Flutter Express for healthcare seekers, their caregiver or companion, and immediate family members, ensuring they can travel with comfort and peace of mind.
care packages for travelers
We understand that healing journeys are more than just medical, they’re emotional, physical, and deeply personal. That’s why each sponsored Flutter Club healthcare seeker receives a thoughtfully curated care package designed to ease the stress of travel and provide comfort every step of the way.
building a community of support
At Flutter Club, we believe in the power of togetherness. We connect donors, volunteers, and heatlhcare seekers, creating a network of compassion, support, and hope.
our vision
We envision a world where access to life-saving and life-changing healthcare is never determined by the ability to travel. Flutter Club exists to break down financial and emotional barriers, making it possible for people of all ages, regardless of circumstance, to reach the care they need with dignity, comfort, and hope. We believe in a future where no one travels this path alone, because healing journeys deserve to be supported, every mile of the way.
who we support at Flutter Club
Understanding Critical Illness, Developmental Disabilities, or Reproductive Health & Fertility.
at Flutter Club, we support individuals seeking a second medical opinion, as well as those facing critical illnesses, developmental disabilities, and reproductive health & fertility, as defined below.
critical illness
A critical illness is a health condition that poses a significant risk to a person's life or long-term well-being. These illnesses often require specialized medical treatment, ongoing care, or travel to world-renowned healthcare facilities.
Some Examples of Critical Illnesses:
Cancer (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer)
Organ Failure (e.g., kidney failure, heart failure, liver failure)
Neurological Disorders (e.g., ALS, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy)
Cardiovascular Diseases (e.g., stroke, heart attack, congenital heart conditions)
Severe Respiratory Conditions (e.g., cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension)
Autoimmune Diseases (e.g., lupus, severe rheumatoid arthritis)
Blood Disorders (e.g., aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria)
Severe Trauma or Burns (e.g., injuries requiring reconstructive surgery)
A critical illness often requires specialized medical practitioners and treatments such as chemotherapy, transplants, advanced surgeries, or clinical trials.
developmental disability
A developmental disability is a lifelong condition that affects physical, cognitive, learning, language, or behavioral development. These disabilities typically appear before adulthood and may impact a person's ability to perform daily activities, communicate, or live independently.
Examples of Developmental Disabilities:
Intellectual Disabilities (e.g., Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Cerebral Palsy
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
Spina Bifida
Genetic or Chromosomal Conditions (e.g., Williams syndrome, Rett syndrome)
Severe Learning Disabilities (e.g., dyslexia with intellectual impairment)
Developmental disabilities can vary in severity and may require specialized medical care, therapy, or support services to improve quality of life.
reproductive health & fertility
We also support individuals navigating the complex world of fertility and reproductive healthcare, especially those impacted by health-related barriers like prior cancer treatment or genetic conditions.
Some examples of Reproductive Health & Fertility Needs:
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART)
Fertility preservation procedures, such as egg, embryo, or sperm freezing
Reproductive endocrinology consultations and treatment plans
Preimplantation genetic testing and counseling
Endometriosis and PCOS treatment at specialized centers
Surgical procedures related to reproductive organs (e.g., fibroid removal, laparoscopic surgery, ovarian cyst treatment)
Hormonal and ovulation therapy
Evaluation and treatment of recurrent pregnancy loss or miscarriage
Cancer-related fertility counseling and care coordination
Specialist care for congenital or acquired reproductive system disorders (e.g., MRKH syndrome, uterine abnormalities)
