A group of Veterans, including some who made the drive from Texas, have delivered vital supplies to those trapped in the mountains.
. The group was able to bring a week's supply of Sloan's medication up the mountain, after two of their crew drove from San Antonio, Texas, the day before. It's an effort they call "Operation Snow Angel." The group brought supplies they either purchased or gotten from donations, including shovels, dog food and life-saving medicine.
Heather Sloan's mother, Susan Schafer and her daughter Lily Sloan, called her in the hospital to tell her the good news. "This means the absolute world to me because you have no idea how much stress it was not knowing how I was going to get my medication and my tube feeding because that is my lifeline," Heather Sloan said on the phone. "So this means the absolute world to me because it means that when I get out of the hospital I can come home."
Schafer was in tears when the Veteran Air crew delivered the medication. Mike Andersen, the owner of Veteran Air, said it was tough for him not to cry, saying that the situation "touches the soul." "It means being able to continue what we were trained in the military [to do]," Andersen said. "Help others, and a sense of community, even though we're an hour away. This is big for us. It shows our children there's more than what we do in the world, instead of just taking we can give back."
