Mother To Be Reunited With Special Needs Children

POSTED: Thursday, September 8, 2005
UPDATED: 7:45 am CDT September 8, 2005

Gwendolyn Campbell hasn't seen her two young sons since they were airlifted off the rooftop of their flooded home in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina struck.

Allowing her sons to go ahead of her, Campbell had to wait for another helicopter to airlift her, so she was separated from her 2-year-old son, who is autistic, and her 11-year-old son, who is bipolar and suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Campbell, along with thousands of other evacuees, then had to leave New Orleans, not knowing where she was going and not knowing where her sons were.

Campbell ended up at Lackland Baptist Church in San Antonio, hundreds of miles from her loved ones.

But on Tuesday, she got some good news -- her sons and their grandmother are safe at a shelter in Thibodeaux, La.

Anxious to be reunited with her sons, Campbell made a plea on KSAT 12 News to help her get reunited with her sons.

On Wednesday night, her prayers were answered -- a viewer who saw the news story volunteered to drive Campbell to Louisiana to bring her sons to San Antonio.

The viewer, an emergency medical technician from Marion, is a pediatric nurse who has worked with special needs children like Campbell's.

"Thank you so much," Campbell said to KSAT 12 News reporter Jessie Degollado, who reported on Campbell's situation.

Campbell plans to leave Friday for the reunion.
