Anonymous owner donates jet to bring dying man home

By Janice Wood · October 12, 2010 ·

Anthony Napoleone is back home in Maine, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor who granted the 28-year-old dying man’s wish by providing a private jet staffed with nurses and stocked with medical equipment and covering all expenses of his flight, according to a report at Salina.com. The story quotes Napoleone’s mother:

“It’s amazing there are good people out there that do care about other people, and they’re not selfish. I appreciate everything. He has no idea what he’s done for my son and myself through his generosity.”
