CHICAGO (CBS) — A Rockford woman took to social media to find the good Samaritan who gave up her seat on a flight so her daughter could escape the hurricane zone.
Rhonda Adams’s daughter Carley’s flight from Tampa to Chicago on October 7 was canceled. That’s when another mom stepped in and gave up her seat.
“She said, ‘I will stay back with my five boys, they’re in Tampa and I know they will protect me through the storm,'” Carley said.
Carly said said despite her hesitation, the good Samaritan pulled her over to the airline counter and said, “give this lady my ticket.”
Because of this selfless gesture, Carley made it back to Chicago on another connecting flight.
Now, Adams is begging the public to help her find this woman she is calling an “angel.” She knew how scared her daughter was at the thought of being trapped without a flight.
“When I got that call from her (Carley), crying on the plane…crying, ‘mom, what do I do? I’m going to be trapped in Tampa. I have no credit card. There’s nowhere for me to go. There’s no flights out,'” Adams said.
