A San Antonio mother's ordeal turned into a communal call for gratitude after her children were saved by three unknown Good Samaritans following a car crash. According to a report by KENS 5, Danielle Littlefield's two children were pulled to safety from the wreckage by bystanders, and now she is on a quest to find and thank these heroes.
The crash happened last Wednesday, when another vehicle slammed into Littlefield's car as she waited in a turning lane off North Foster near Old Seguin Road. The impact was severe, resulting in a fumbled vision, as Littlefield and her daughter's glasses were knocked from their faces, "That was the most scary situation, just feeling helpless and not being able to help your own kids," Littlefield said, according to the KENS 5 interview. The collision resulted in significant damage to Littlefield's car but thankfully, aside from broken fingers and minor scars, her family escaped major harm.
In a desperate moment, Littlefield, who had lost her glasses, was unable to see well enough to retrieve her children from the car. "I got out of the car and screamed, 'Help! Somebody get my kids out of the car!'" she recalled. Two young girls from a nearby store immediately ran to assist, with one even providing comfort to Littlefield's 9-year-old daughter Mia. "She asked if I was thirsty and if I needed anything to drink...It made me feel comfortable and safe," Mia shared in a statement obtained by KENS 5. A third woman made the vital call to 911, securing emergency services for the family.
Grateful for the unexpected kindness in the midst of chaos, Littlefield expressed a heartfelt desire to personally thank her children's rescuers. "It's nice to see there's still good people out there that are willing to help someone, instead of just grabbing the phone and recording everything," she told KENS 5. Littlefield did not catch the names of the young women, who she believes were teenagers, possibly high school-aged, or the woman who helped call 911, thought to be in her late 20's. Her plea to locate these individuals has been shared on social media, hoping for a positive outcome in reconnecting with the Good Samaritans.
The local community has been urged to help in the search. If anyone has information about the identity of the three helpers, they are encouraged to get in touch by emailing [email protected], as part of the collective effort to bring a proper thank you to those who step forward in times of need.
