So touching as a young girl without hands meets a pilot that controls the plane with her feet


Three-years-old Ruth Evelyn 'RE' Pranke was born without hands. After seeing some kids do some things with their hands, she resorted to disturbing her mum that she needs a hand.

'That picture clearly showed that you don't need arms to embrace someone,' 32-year-old Cox said         RE and her mother, Karlyn, traveled six hours so that the young girl could meet Cox during the July 24 premiere of Right Footed, a documentary about Cox overcoming obstacles to become a pilot
RE's mother Karlyn decided to show her daughter that her disability is not an excused and took  her to meet a motivational speaker that was like her-she has no hands.              
RE was born without arms and her mother said she recently had been saying that she wanted arms (RE pictured above with her mother, Karlyn)         She took her daughter to meet Cox so that she could see she 'does nothave to have arms'
Jessica Cox 32 premiered her series Right Footed (a documentary of how she overcame her challenges to be a pilot) was so glad to meet RE as it clearly answers the question of you don't really need arms to share a hug.

Cox has learned to use her feet to do things like clean her teeth and even play the piano

So touching and quite inspiring.
