Pixar grants girl’s dying wish with home viewing of 'Up' - OCRegister.com

Several things are worth noting in this sad but UPlifting story.

On June 4 her mother asked a hospice company to bring a wheelchair for Colby so she could visit a theater to see "Up." However, the weekend went by and the wheelchair was not delivered, Lisa Curtin said.

Lets see a local hospice company couldn't figure out how to get a wheelchair delivered over a weekend Gee isn't that their business? Yet somehow Pixar managed to drop everything to get an employee with a DVD and gift basket the next day.

Pixar officials declined to comment on the story or name the employees involved.

Many companies would have included this in their XYZ company gives back to the community on their website. Almost all companies if contacted would have said something along the lines of we were touched by Little Colby's tragic story and happy to help fullfill her wish. Not Pixar.
