Doctors discovered 7-year-old Jada Harper's inoperable brain tumor in July. She went through treatment in Little Rock, then in Houston, Texas. After Jada didn't respond well to the treatment and went into a coma, her parents wanted to bring her home to her loved ones. The problem was getting her back to Arkansas.

"She's a loving, sweet, always cared more about anybody else but herself, always played with whoever needed to be played with. She just loved everybody," said Jada's mom, Savannah Surface.

Savannah and Jason Surface searched and searched for a way to bring little Jada back home to be near the people she loves.

" We had an ambulance ride but that's a 12-hour trip. The doctors told us that's not a very good idea," said Jason Surface.

If they took the ground ambulance, which they considered, her parents would have to ride separately in a bus.

"We worked on it for almost a week, and somebody from my home town whom I never even called and said anything to -- she called me up and said, 'I got her a flight home,'" said Savannah. "When it finally happened, it was overwhelming. It was wonderful."

Just one of the people involved in finding that flight was Jada's principal, who got an e-mail update about the effort to bring Jada home.

"On a personal level, I couldn't imagine being in ground transport, not being with my baby," said Andrea Martin, principal of Green Forest K-7. "My husband and I have lost two children and we experienced the same thing when we were living in Danville, and the community support there was just incredible, and I remember feeling at that time, that somewhere down the road, God's going to allow us to reach back in the same form or fashion."

Martin had called someone she knew at Fed Ex.

"They've got planes. I knew they did charity flights," said Martin.

The day after her initial phone call, Jada and Savannah were on an air ambulance to Harrison, the $11,000 tab paid by FedEx.

Jada and her parents are now back home, surrounded with love and support.

"I think it makes a whole lot of difference. She can feel the love," said Savannah.

They say the little girl who showed so much love toward others needs to be with those who love her. Even while she was going through treatments, Jada's parents says she was always thinking of others.

"She had just gotten out and had a procedure on her brain, and this little girl in the bed next to her had been in a car wreck, and her legs were real messed up, and she couldn't move. She had to lay straight. And before we left the hospital, Jada insisted that we go buy this little girl a stuffed animal that could fit in her hand, because all of her other stuffed animals were too big and, the way her arms were, she could only hold on with her hand.

"So she went down and bought her a little stuffed animal to give to this little girl that she could hold in her hand, so she wouldn't be scared when her mom wasn't there," Savannah said.

As Savanah and Jason sit by Jada's side, they can feel the love of their community.

"For it to come from my hometown was real amazing, and the way they've just came out and met every need that we've had so we could be with our daughter, it's tremendous, and we just wanted to say thank you from the bottoms of our hearts, because they'll never know how much it meant," said Savannah.

Jada is resting comfortably in Harrison, surrounded by her loved ones.
