Airlines Refuse to Fly Critically Ill 3-Year-Old to Doctors… So Parents Call Trump
Conservative Tribune ^

Posted on 08/26/2016 4:33:33 PM PDT by COBOL2Java

An incredible story involving Donald Trump has just come to light, and virtually no one knows about it because, unlike what almost any politician would do, the billionaire hasn’t used it to boost his public image.

Years ago, now Presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s private 727 took off from Los Angeles and landed in New York City, much as it had for years. But this time one thing was different.

While Trump wasn’t on board, three other passengers were — 3-year-old Andrew Ten and his parents. What led to this trip is a story that’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

Andrew was struggling with a breathing condition that doctors in California had not yet been able to identify. Wanting the best care available for their son, the Tens decided to fly east and meet with doctors in New York.

Remarkably, however, commercial airlines refused the family due to the oxygen tank, suction machine, adrenaline syringe, and other medical equipment Andrew needed to endure the flight.

Running out of ideas, the Tens decided to try a one in a million shot. They reached out to Donald Trump and asked for his help.

Donald Trump is the greatest American since George Washington. He is paying Millions and working tirelessly for you— not the establishment slave masters— YOU. IMO.

Hillary would have replaced the sick kid with a rosey cheeks healthy one, had CNN do a live interview, and wore a Mother Theresa head scarf during the cameras. Then she would have booted the sick kid onto a Greyhound with a bag of amphetamines to perk him up.

Then billed the Clinton Foundation $6.2 million for expenses.

When he releases his tax returns I’m sure we’ll find this kind and charitable act was taken as a tax deduction.

NOT A CHANCE, Business expense maybe, but a Charitable Deduction requires an actual IRS registered Charity.

From the tone of your comment one must assume you have Hillary Signs all over your yard???

There’s another story about a guy who helped change the tire on his limo not knowing who was inside. The driver told the man my boss wants to repay you. The gentleman said just send my wife some flowers for our anniversary. Not only did she get flowers but also the deed to their house.

The only sincere form of charity is the charity done quietly.

If he did, where’s the criminality/evil/selfishness in doing so? I have my doubts about Trump, although I’ll be voting for him, but why would this be immoral, unethical or in any way wrong?

I was being sarcastic !!!

Some people are saying Trump doesn't want to release his taxes because he doesn't donate a lot to charity. But he has done many charitable acts, such as this one, that don't readily fall into the charitable donation tax deduction category.

Unlike the Clinton's who deducted used underwear that was donated to some poor unsuspecting citizen.

Thus the reason for my post being one of sarcasm. I just thought most freepers would catch it.

One less dollar to the federal government is a good thing.

The feds give millions of dollars to Iranan terrorists. Haven't you heard?

It's your moral duty to keep money away from big government.

1985
http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/07/nyregion/new-york-pays-homage-to-vietnam-veterans.htmlQuestion
The centerpiece of the commission’s effort is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a glass-block wall, 70 feet long and 16 feet high, which is etched with excerpts from 83 letters – including Sergeant Calamia’s – that were written by or to the soldiers who served in America’s most unpopular war.

It’s not just brick and mortar, said Donald Trump, the real-estate executive who donated $1 million of the $2.5 million raised by the commission, which is also charged with financing programs for unemployed local veterans. It’s very much a living monument.

I was a very strong opponent of the Vietnam War, he said, but I also recognized that the people who went to fight were great Americans. I always thought they got a bad shake in life and never got their just recognition.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/donald-trump-once-saved-a-womans-farm-from-foreclosure?utm_term=.aqk95DonA#.uc9zpkqaeQuestion
It was September 1986, and Annabel Hill, 66, was facing an auction where she would lose the farm that had been in her family for five generations.
Hill’s husband, Lenard, had committed suicide eight months earlier, 20 minutes before a scheduled auction, in a last-ditch attempt to save his property with life insurance money. The life insurance money wasn’t enough, covering only $175,000 of debts than ran in excess of $300,000, from two years of a drought that Hill said had ruined their livelihood. Even when several hundred acres of the 1,300-acre Waynesboro, Georgia, farm were sold, the now-widowed Annabel still found herself deep in debt and facing an auction.
That’s when real estate tycoon Donald Trump and a series of other personalities stepped in to help save Hill’s farm.
