Fearless Mom Runs Into Blazing Fire And Burns 60% Of Body To Save Children Stuck In The House

House fires are extremely dangerous and a nightmare for mothers everywhere. One single mom of four lived through this story, and survived thanks to sheer will.Set ablazeMikala Vash, a single mother from Michigan, ran into her burning home to rescue her children, risking her own life. Without waiting for emergency services to arrive, she gritted her teeth and did what it took to save her 6-year-old son, who was stuck in the house. The firefighters who eventually got the scene, Lt. Derek Klink and Captain Scott Basar, called the incident “the most heroic thing [they’d] ever seen”."She was burnt over 60% of her body and she has both 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree burns,I would expect no less from her. She has always been a spitfire, she is extremely determined. It didn't surprise me at all. As I understand, it was an inferno and she just braced herself for it until she found [her 6-year-old son]." - Susan Sutton Community supportUnfortunately, Mikala and her six year old son were severely burnt in the fire, and had to have surgery and be hospitalized. Mikala was hooked up to tubes and unable to speak. Because of this, her community decided to tell her story and rally around her to help. Bryanna Klink, the firefighter’s wife, liaised with Mikala's mother Susan Sutton to start a GoFundMe to help the family. On the GoFundMe page, she explained how heroic Mikala’s actions had been, and how her young children were so vulnerable and needed help. The touching story had an impact: $247,000 was raised for the family in only three weeks. "She is a woman of great faith and prayer and I think that along with her very spitfire personality is what's getting her through and it gives me the courage to know this is going to work” - Susan SuttonBasic InstinctThe maternal instinct is one of the most powerful in the world. Just like you would be no match for a mama bear who senses her cub is in danger, this fire was no match for Mikala. Her heroism and love for her children is a force as strong as any weapon.More uplifting news:Aggressive Dogs Lunge At Two-Year Old Boy, Mom Acts As A Shield To Save His LifeSingle Dad Adopts 13-Year-Old After He’s Abandoned At HospitalPregnant Woman Wakes Up From Coronavirus Coma To Discover She Had Delivered Her Baby6-Year-Old Boy Risks His Life To Save Baby Sister From Dog AttackHeroes Come in all shapes and sizesLet's make sure we take the time to celebrate them.

Budget-Conscious Mom Gets Brutally Lunch-Shamed, Moms Step In To Defend Her

One industrious woman caught flak from fellow moms for packing too many sweets in her kid's lunch. Lunch laborAny mom will vouch that the daily lunch-making routine can be a grind.According to one study, most parents responded that packing lunch "tops the list of stresses for parents as their children head into the new school year."In addition to juggling numerous other morning tasks, mothers have to consider the reloading of the pantry, all while packing a balanced meal for their kids. The pressure has some moms going to crazy lengths to pack the perfect lunch.Kia Bradford Oswald can certainly relate. One day, she decided to find a smart and sensible solution once and for all. Amazingly, she managed to pick up enough goodies to last her little ones an entire school term, all at an unbelievable price.A proud Oswald decided to share her coup with fellow moms on the ‘Aldi Mums’ Facebook page."Did my back to school shop today! $228 and it will last me almost all term."- Kia Bradford OswaldMindful of the potential blowback at some sugary snacks being on display, she was quick to follow up."Before anyone gets mad about it my kids do NOT get everything every day and they get plenty of fruit and a sandwich as well as junk!"Too little, too late-- criticism quickly followed. "Nice, but mine won't be having processed stuff," replied on parent.Strong responseOswald was quick to defend her selection of snacks."I couldn't care less what your kids do or do not have. My kids have this in their lunch and I'm not going to deprive my kids of snacks just because your kids aren't having any!"Oswald then gave a swift run-down of her menu for her remaining critics."Here’s a picture of the cupboard," she said, going on to explain, "I stack it all and alternate snacks each day. They get 3-4 bars, a cheese dip, a rope or gummy shapes and a pack of chips or cookies. They also get 2-3 pieces of fruit, a container of chopped up cucumber and a sandwich daily."Her reply attracted the support of other commenters, including one asking people to give Oswald a break"She is feeding her kids so WHY ON EARTH DOES IT BOTHER YOU? Good on you sweetie, I'm sure your kids eat organic food! Grow up and stop shaming mums for what they feed their children, at least they're fed!"Facebook commenter Let's be kind to momsI mentioned it earlier but it bears repeating: being a mom is a tough task. When you think of what mom do daily -- often on an empty tank and a shoestring budget -- you realize that they're the real superheros. That includes supporting their kids as they take on an ever demanding world and providing them fuel to the best of their abilities. Let's pack lunches with less shaming and more love and thank yous.

5-Year-Old Sees Mother Collapse, Acts Quickly And Saves Her Life With iPad

We're constantly criticizing kids for being glued to their screens, oblivious to the world. Yet one tablet-toting girl's heroics will force you to reconsider.'Mammy's not well'Five-year-old Priya Galvin was at home in Cork, Ireland when crisis hit. Her mother Mary suddenly collapsed to the floor, unable to move or gesture. All alone, Priya had to act fast. She grabs her iPad and frantically FaceTime's her father, Damian Gavin as he's going to work."She was crying and just said that mammy was drinking her tea and she was on the floor and can’t get up."Damien GavinWhat Damian sees next is alarming.Using the iPad to save the day "She turned the camera around so I could see her and that was when I could see that Mary was on the floor in the kitchen and she looked very distressed," he recalled.Damien immediately alerts Mary's relatives living nearby, who hurry over and call an ambulance. Mary is rushed to Cork University Hospital, where scans reveal that she had suffered a stroke. A clot formed that paralyzed her entire right side.Fortunately, she recovered and was able to return home to her family, which includes five-week-old son Noah. The doctors said Priya deserves all the credit for saving a life. "The surgeon said with a stroke, time is precious and my little daughter is an absolute hero."Damien Galvin Kids deserve more credit What's remarkable is that Priya had only recently learned how to FaceTime "so she could ring her cousin" or "her nana and grandad as well," said her dad.And yet, Priya's instincts and ingenuity led her to use it to keep her mother alive. "I just wanted to make everyone aware, I know we always give out about our kids being on devices all the time, but she saved her mother’s life."Damien GalvinBefore dismissing them, let's remember that, when given an opportunity, kids are capable of unimaginable greatness. As for Priya, her dad says that "she can use her tablet as much as she wants now."More uplifting stories:Quick-Thinking Dad Saves 11-Year-Old From Clutches Of KidnapperThis Woman Trusted Her Instincts And Saved A Little Girl From Being AbductedDomestic Abuse Survivor Marries The First Responder Who Saved Her LifeBrooklyn Landlord Cancels Rent For Hundreds Of Tenants, Setting An Unprecedented Example For Others
