Baby Kaleb was only 10 days old when he became seriously ill in the midst of rising floodwaters in Biloela. His mum, Lori, took him to the local hospital. But Kaleb was so unwell that he needed intensive care – nearly 150km away.
The roads were cut off, the telephones were down and no ambulance on earth could have made it through the floodwaters that day. Kaleb and his mum Lori were trapped.
A quick-thinking nurse put in an emergency call and within minutes a Flying Doctor aircraft was dispatched to bring Kaleb to the care he so desperately needed. Lori says that if Kaleb was left untreated any longer, it could have been fatal. And that’s why the Flying Doctor is so important—our emergency flights are all that can stand between life and death.
Our service is crucial to the safety of those in isolated communities like Kaleb, but our challenge is ensuring we have the aircraft, medical supplies and exceptional staff.
Your help today can ensure the Flying Doctor continues to save lives, even through the challenge of extreme wind, fire, rain or storm. Please give a gift now to help the Flying Doctor save more people like Kaleb in their time of need.
