Jessica Daniels and Ben Fairbanks have had a rough time lately.
Their new daughter, Genevieve, was born prematurely a few weeks ago.
While the parents, Army veterans, were spending time with her in the hospital, their car was stolen.
A few weeks ago, Daniels was in a car accident in the family’s other car.
Then Jesse Jones, consumer reporter at Cox’s Seattle CBS affiliate KIRO, entered the picture. He contacted Jim Walen of Ford/Hyundai of Kirkland, Wash., to see if he could help.
Walen and his wife donated a vehicle to the couple so that the new parents can now visit their daughter at any time they want.
The local fire department installed a new car seat before Jones surprised the family at the hospital.
“I’m amazed,” said Daniels through tears. “This restored my faith in people again. We hope that we can give back someday too when we can.”
Jesse Jones has a habit of causing tears of joy. Click here to read how Jones helped thousands of firemen battling the largest wildfire in Oregon’s history.
For the record, those firefighters were some 400 miles away from Seattle.
