A Leap of Faith By:Valerie Coahuilas

A mother is being hailed a hero after saving her 18-month-old son from a burning building by jumping out a third-story window with him in her arms. The fire tore through multiple units in Simoes’ apartment complex in Haverhill, Mass., and left the young mother and her child trapped in their apartment. Christina Simoes suffered serious injuries, including broken vertebrae. After a six-hour surgery she was told that she might never walk again but told news reporters “All the pain, all of this that I’m going to go through is worth it to see him run around and play, We lost everything but that doesn't matter to me because I have all that matters.”

  1. This is absolutely incredible! A mother's love is one of the most amazing things that one can experience in our world, and it is demonstrated beautifully in stories like this one.
