MedStar Takes Special Needs Children Trick-Or-Treating

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - MedStar made Thursday night a Halloween to remember for a  pair of families with special needs children.

MedStar picked up children, who are unable to walk or speak, in an ambulance and took them trick-or-treating.

Their families followed along, too.

Kennedy Reed, 16, traveled with a breathing treatment machine so without MedStar's help, trick-or-treating would not have been realistic.

She and her family dressed as characters from the movie "Inside Out."

MedStar shared video from the special evening on Twitter.

Reed is non-verbal, but understands very well and loves to be talked to, and MedStar made sure she was talked to a lot while taking her around a neighborhood.

Ben Hatton, 7, also got the royal treatment on Halloween.
