Carrie Quilici, (left) PHX F/A hands 5 year old Saido over to ASF escort Christophe Tabit in CDG as he continues his journey home to Burkina Faso. Carrie accompanied Saido from ORD to CDG and Saido begged to stay with Carrie until she finally told him that if he stayed with her he wouldn’t see him mom. So then he was ready to go on with Christophe.
Not only did Carrie Quilici and Bunny Doi take Baby Dominique and sweet Saidou back to CDG, they also brought 3 more kids back to the US – Yvan and Ma, both 4 years old and Ibrahim, age 8 who will all go to CMH for donated medical care. The two boys are orthopedic patients and little Ma is having a re-check for her retinablastoma surgery.
This pic (right) was made in CLT as they exited customs and handed the kids over to our domestic escorts who accompanied them on to CMH. In the pic L to R in their flight attendant uniforms are Betty Taylor, PHLAA F/A, Bunny Doi, ORDAA F/A, Carrie Quilici, PHXAA F/A, and Michelle Burge, ORDAA F/A. The others are CLT people assisting with wheelchairs. Many thanks to our coordinating team and all the selfless escorts who make these life changing journeys.
