Airport kindness goes viral: How 3 women saved this mama during a hard flight

Within minutes, 2-year-old Wyatt was asleep on the airport floor. Kinsey was wondering how she would carry him and all the carry-ons when “another mom jumps out of her place in line and says ‘hand me everything, I’ve got it.'”

When Kinsey thanked the second woman and the first who had given up her place in line they told her not to worry, that they were going to make sure she got on her flight.

“The second woman takes evvvverything and helps me get it through security and, on top of all that, she grabs all of it and walks us to the gate to make sure we get on the flight,” Kinsey wrote.

Kinsey and her boys boarded, but the journey was hardly over. Wyatt wolk up and started “to scream” at take off, before finally falling back asleep. Kinsey was stressed out and needed a moment to breathe, but she couldn’t put Wyatt down.

“After about 45 min, this angel comes to the back and says ‘you look like you need a break’ and holds Wyatt for the rest of the flight AND walks him all the way to baggage claim, hands him to [Kinsey’s husband], hugs me and says “Merry Christmas!!” Kinsey wrote.

It’s a beautiful story about women helping women, and it gets even better because when Kinsey’s Facebook post started to go viral she updated it in the hopes of helping other parents take their kids to Disney and experience another form of stress-relief.

“What if everyone that shared the story went to Kidd’s Kids and made a $5 donation ?! Kidd’s Kids take children with life-threatening and life-altering conditions on a 5 day trip to Disney World so they can have a chance to forget at least some of the day to day stressors and get to experience a little magic!!”

As of this writing, Kinsey has raised more than $2,000 for Kidd’s Kids and has probably inspired a few people to be kind the next time they see a parent struggling in public.
