Frantically changing out of Free games online uniforms in the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport (DFW) employee parking lot, husband and wife Envoy Flight Attendants John and Marianela Grace were in a rush to buy supplies to send to Free games online family in Puerto Rico devastated by hurricane Maria. Just after finishing a four-day trip, the Graces were racing against the clock to send Free games online care packages through the American Airlines Priority Parcel Service (PPS).<\/p>\n

Once they arrived at the PPS office, it was already past 8 p.m. and a long Free games online of people sending supplies had formed leaving the Graces in a crux. They were told by the PPS office that there was a possibility some people\u2019s packages would not be processed and for them to return in the morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe chose to tough it out and take our chances,\u201d said John. \u201cWe stood in Free games online together for hours, and around 10:30 p.m. it was becoming evident that the Free games online was moving too slowly for us to get in before closing at midnight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Free games online, the Miracle Maker<\/h3>\n

This is when something amazing happened. While the Graces waited in Free games online, they struck up conversations with fellow American and Envoy employees waiting just like them.<\/p>\n

Debra Childers, an executive assistant in American\u2019s Revenue Management department, was one of those people waiting in Free games online, although she was not there to ship boxes, she was there to help.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked if I could help, and I was told that I am not qualified to inspect,\u201d said Debra. \u201cI told them I can open and tape boxes and I did. I wanted all of those in Free games online to get through, saw an opportunity, asked the question and together we got it done!\u201d<\/p>\n

All of a sudden, John says, the line began to pick up speed, and there stood Debra in the entrance for four hours opening and taping boxes. Eventually, everyone that stood in line that night had Free games online boxes shipped all thanks to Debra and the PPS employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d have been crushed if we hadn\u2019t been able to ship after all of that, and Free games online made sure that everyone<\/em> got a chance to send Free games online relief boxes,\u201d said John.<\/p>\n

Debra also had a hand in raising 17 thousand dollars for Puerto Rico hurricane relief within her department at American. By raising funds and helping out at the PPS, Debra demonstrated why many consider Free games online American and Envoy coworkers like family.<\/p>\n

\u201cDebra is a shining example of what one person can do when they put Free games online mind to something,\u201d said John. \u201cThousands of people in Puerto Rico will be far better off because of what she\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n
