A Southwest Airlines flight took a moment to celebrate a 6-year-old girl who had just beat cancer

• A mother on TikTok captured the moment a flight attendant announced her 6-year-old daughter had defeated cancer.
• The entire plane began cheering for her, as commenters wrote that the moment made them tear up.
• Jessa, the daughter, had fought cancer for over two years, according to another video on her mom's TikTok channel.

A recent Southwest Airlines flight celebrated Jessa, a 6-year-old Make-A-Wish recipient, who recently beat cancer. Jessa's mother, whose TikTok username is @lauramree, captured and shared the wholesome moment on Monday.

Her video has already been viewed over 600,000 times.

In the clip, a flight attendant could be seen announcing that there was a "very, very special guest" on the plane that they wanted to recognize. 

 

He introduced Jessa, who stood next to him wearing a bright Minnie Mouse T-shirt, and said she was flying back from her Make-A-Wish foundation trip. 

"And she — are y'all ready for this? — has just beaten cancer and is now cancer-free. How do you like that?" the flight staff could be heard saying over the intercom.

Applause roared across the plane, as @lauramree panned the camera back to the rows of passengers. "Yes, that is an amazing accomplishment," the flight attendant responded to the cheers.

"We want to welcome you home, we want to wish you a very healthy, happy, prosperous, and long life ahead," he added. "Keep fighting, [it] takes a fighter, doesn't it? I'm glad you're here with us."

Many viewers said the video made them cry and wrote sweet messages for the family in the comment section.

"I started crying when he said make a wish," one top comment said. "Then cried harder when he said she beat cancer bless her heart."

"My heart SUNK when i heard make a wish...then i heard cancer free and the tears just started pouring," another person wrote.

Many also congratulated @lauramree for her endurance as well. "Congrats Jessa BUT ALSO congrats momma! The behind the scenes work that u do is probably so stressful," one user wrote. "You get to watch your girl grow up!"

Jessa's mother had previously documented some of her daughter's health journey on her TikTok page, including clips from a recent trip to Disney World, which was tagged "MakeAWish." 

@Lauramree also shared a video in August last year announcing that Jessa was finally cancer-free after "762 days, 61 chemo infusions, and hundreds of pills." 

"She is done. It is done," Marie wrote in the video's description.

"We love her so much and we are SO HAPPY FOR HER!!!" one viewer wrote on that video.
