McKinnon pleaded, “I’m reaching out to all of you, my amazing supporters, to see if anyone has any direct connections to anyone who works at the main FedEx facility in Memphis that can help us????” Fortunately, the designer got a quick response from the company’s social media team, who noted that they were involved, reading: “We want to help and we’re looking into it!”

McKinnon noted in a Jan. 30 update that he was very aware of the weather issues in Memphis “and that people are struggling and it’s horrible.” He noted: “However, it is not the weather delay that we are mainly concerned about in this situation, it is the fact that they do not know where the package is.”
Fortunately, Carreira will be hitting the ice with style because “they found it,” she wrote with a crying emoji.
McKinnon also shared his excitement, posting, “Our small but mighty skating community has get together and through a friend of a friend of a US Figure Skating friend, who had a colleague in Memphis who knew someone who worked at the center and could physically go get the package, it was found last night and is on its way to be delivered today! Thank you!!!”
