Free Market charity. Government can't touch this.

Having Monty Python flashes from this story.

“Good news. FedEx is going to fly you home.”

“Don’t put me in a box. I’m not dead yet.”

So sad and very blurry.

Dear God please be with this little girl and hear all the prayers for her and bring her back, healthy and vibrant. Amen

The Post Office didn’t offer first?

Private pilots have been quitely doing this for years. Check out Angel Flight and the Air Care Alliance.

Also Corporate Angel Network. Good on FedEx for helping this sick kid but understand that it happens every day all over the country with little or no fanfare.

My post office still shoves things into a box that are marked DO NOT BEND...I do not know how many decals they have ruined. I can only imagine what would happen if they were put in charge of something important like this.

Dear God,
I hold JADA up to Thee and humbly ask that You will lay Your hands upon her
and restore her even as You did to those about whom we read in the Bible.
In Jesus' Name
Amen

The story, had you read it, points out that Angel Flight did not offer to help.

Not yet anyways. When the death panels get started, she will be declared “Unsavagable” and then be handed over for “Special handling”.

We must not be taxing the big corporations enough if they can still afford to do this...

Seriously, corporations are some of the biggest donors of charity in our nation and yet, they are villified.

Kind deed, FedEx...
