There was some great news announced earlier today as Zoe Ireland has arrived safely home in Tennessee.
Baby Zoe who was born in Ireland last October prematurely after a US-bound flight carrying her mother Jenny was diverted to Dublin, has now finally arrived home after a successful crowd funding campaign. The Drake family had been stranded in Ireland after health authorities deemed it unsafe for baby Zoe to travel on a commercial flight for an extended period of time.
The generous campaign was launched by a group of people who wished to help the family get home and they managed to raise the $67,000 (€62,000) to fund the much needed medical flight required. A delighted Jenny told WKRN TV in Nashville.: “Now that we are kind of to the end of it, we can call it what it really is, which is a blessing. It’s been a crazy, traumatic, wild blessing, but it has been a blessing.”
It is understood that baby Zoe and her family are now being cared for at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville, with doctors making sure she is healthy enough to return home.
