AA flight attendant Patti Gonzales and AA retired flight attendant (and captain's wife) Shelley Farrey
Patti recounts her experience, "The experience has added so much to my life, spending the short time with all of them. The children deserve the opportunity now that so many of us take for granted. I fell in love with each and every one of them...Semion especially brings tears to my eyes just thinking about him. Before I complain about anything, I shall remember his eyes and think how strong this young man was. The emotion that both Shelley and I felt could be read on our faces without a word being said when it came to those kids. We will look at our own children with more spirit than we did, and add to their lives as we share with them what we experienced."

Shelley adds, "Everywhere we went with this crew, we drew attention, but in such a positive way. Those children were like 6 bright and shining stars. Needless to say, there was not a dry eye among any of us when the union of children and new families finally did occur. I was so thrilled to have been a part of it."
Bravo, Patti and Shelley! Simply beautiful!

Margaret Whitehead, Director of the Children's Escort Program, explains, "This tiny
3-month old baby with a huge cleft lip and palate weighed only 6 lbs. and was
extremely malnourished because it was so difficult for her mom to feed her. She
was growing weaker each day and COTA felt that if she couldn't come within a
week, it would be too late to save her."
