Forgiving girl inspires businessmen's generosity.

by Philocrites

Remember the story of Kai Leigh Harriott, the little girl who was paralyzed by a stray gunshot but who told the shooter she forgave him during a victim-impact statement? The Globe follows up with a story about the owner of a bus company who was moved by her story and decided to offer Kai Leigh and her mother a free trip to New York. Another benefactor is sending the family to Disney World.

("At 6, her forgiveness inspires their kindness," Megan Tench, Boston Globe 5.19.06, reg req'd)
