Chicago based AA flight attendant, Maria Horgan escorted baby Glorias from ORD to PHL recently for donated surgery to correct a congenital deformity in her shoulder that leaves her right arm useless. Maria met baby Glorias in ORD where she was handed over by two other AAI escorts, ORD Envoy flight attendant Isabel Moss and LAXAA flight attendant Bernadette Cassidy who had accompanied her and one other little girl from CDG. The babies were brought from Abidjan to Paris by Aviation sans Frontieres escorts.

A passenger on the flight was so touched, he wanted to send money for Glorias, so we put him in touch with the Children’s Medical Missions director in Ohio who sponsored the two children. The selfless service our escorts provide is an inspiration to the traveling public, as these little ones are on the most important journey of their lives.
