Darn Nice of Fed Ex

This is a tragic story, but it's nice of Fed Ex to step up and help. Terribly sad for the family, but at least the little girl will be surrounded by her loved ones.

FedEx flies terminally ill girl home

Because of caring people and a caring company, a terminally ill little Green Forest girl was flown home Friday by air ambulance from M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, so she can spend her last days surrounded by the people who love her most.

Jada Harper, who turned seven on Sept. 1, has an inoperable malignant tumor in her brain and is in a coma with a ventilator doing her breathing for her. She has been at the famous cancer center in Houston since July, but her situation is now at the point not much else can be done to help her.

Friday afternoon, Jada was flown home to the Ozarks — on a gurney, attached to the machine that breathes for her. FedEx Freight paid the $11,000 bill for the special medical flight her family was unable to afford.

Very tragic, but good on FedEx for helping the family in this tough time.

Hate to see really young kids like that have to go so early. But at least Fedex will allow it to be @ home

I know several pilots who work for FEDEX. Everyone of them has good things to say about the company.

That's a tragedy. It's heartbreaking to hear stories about children like this one.

Good job FedEx for keeping the family in mind.
