Zoe's Mother Had Passed Out 

Zoe’s mother, Jessica, had passed out. She was unresponsive but Zoe knew just what to do. Despite the fear gnawing at her, Zoe took ten deep breaths to calm herself. She then called family members before calling 911. “I was in my room and I was watching TV and my mom just fainted. Can you come hurry? I already called my Poopy and my grandma,” Zoe said.

She sounded so incredibly brave and calm on the phone as she told dispatch that her mommy had passed out. She also gave dispatch her home address. 

When Jessica became conscious, she was in shock that she was surrounded by paramedics. She didn’t remember passing out. “Everyone was surrounding me and I’m like, what happened?” She recalled. Jessica learned her daughter had called 911.

Our children are little sponges, and they soak up everything they see and hear. Little Zoe is blessed to have a mom who taught her how to get help and remain calm. She became a hero through her actions, and it’s such an incredible story. We hope this sweet girl lifted your spirits today.
