The private plane of billionaire Donald Trump arrived from
Los Angeles at
LaGuardia Airport Tuesday morning, carrying aboard an Orthodox Jewish child
with a rare and still undiagnosed breathing illness.
The child, Andrew Ten, age 3, arrived with his parents and
was also accompanied by three nurses who attend to him around the clock who are
to trying to seek medical help in the New York area.
Trump made his plane available for the special trip to New
York after the boy’s parents, Judy and Harold Ten, called Trump and told him of
their plight.
Commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he
could not travel without an elaborate life-support system, which includes a
portable oxygen tank, a suction machine, a breathing bag and an adrenaline
syringe.
“Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up. He said
‘yes, I’ll send my plane out,’” 29-year-old Harold Ten recalled shortly after
he landed here Tuesday morning.
Asked why he thought Trump made his private jet available,
Ten replied, “Because he is a good man. He has three children of his own and he
knows what being a parent is all about.”
Ten said he believes that Trump fulfilled the Talmudic
saying that “he who saves one person’s life is as if he saved the entire
world.”
Among the relatives at the airport to greet the child and
his parents were the paternal grandparents of the sick boy.
“Donald Trump is a miracle, just a miracle,” said
grandmother Feigy Ten, who came to the airport with her husband, Phillip Ten.
The core gifts showed themselves for who Trump really is. I'm impressed by this story. BH for people like him helping those in need.
