According to firefighters, a Michigan mother repeatedly ran into her burning home to save her children, ages 12, 6, 4, and 9 months
A single mother named Mikala Vish from Michigan is being celebrated for her bravery after she ran into her burning home to rescue her four children.
Chelsea firefighters Lt. Derek Klink and Captain Scott Basar told that Mikala Vish repeatedly re-entered the house early Tuesday morning (26 October) to save her kids, ages 12, 6, 4, and 9 months.
Lt. Klink called it “the most heroic thing” he’s ever see, per the outlet.
The lieutenant continued.”Sometimes, people call us heroes. And in this instance, in no way were we the hero. Mikala deserves all the credit.”
Capt. Basar told that Vish “is an absolute hero for how she saved all her children.”
According to a GoFundMe campaign set up in support of the family by Brynna Klink, the lieutenant’s wife, Vish suffered second and third-degree burns to over 60% of her body. Meanwhile, her 6-year-old son also suffered burns “on his hands, feet, and back.”
News of Vish’s heroics struck a chord with Brynna, saying she has children around the same age.
Brynna wrote in a message on the online fundraiser: “I have never met the family, but after receiving approval from Mikala’s mother, we knew we wanted to help in any way possible,” “We are teaming up with Chelsea Area Fire Authority Local 1889 to support them as much as we can.”
Capt. Basar told that it takes Vish and her 6-year-old son a long time to recover.
Money that was donated to the GoFundMe will go toward the family’s needs after the fire. First, Funds collected via the site will be dispersed to Chelsea Area Fire Authority Local 1889 before going “directly” to the family, per the campaign description.
Brynna wrote: “Please help to provide some relief to Mikala, and her four beautiful children, as she recovers from injuries she suffered in the fire,”
As of Monday, the Gofundme campaign has raised $226,850 of its $250,000 goal.
