FedEx To The Rescue
Carroll had brought up the idea of requesting for passage from the international cargo company FedEx. He had heard that the Memphis-based company had flown emergency patients before. Call it kismet, but they were able to contact someone from the shipping company. Upon hearing about little Brooklyn’s story, they agreed to fly her and her parents on one of their planes the next day. But that would be too late, they needed to get there the same night. Nick explained, “When they heard that we needed to get there sooner, they said, ‘Well if they can get to the airport in the next 30 minutes, we can have someone take them then.’”
