Recently, a severe Hurricane Otis has made landfall in Acapulco. Arizbeth Dionisio Ambrosio, a Mexican police officer, was doing her job in the ravaged resort city. The woman was removing fallen constructions, trees, light poles and cars that were completely washed away by the storm. And then, suddenly, she heard a baby wailing.
Then Arizbeth was approached by the child’s mom, who was totally hysterical and demonstrated pure signs of panic. The woman explained to Arizbeth that her 4-month-old baby had been starving for two days already. The boy didn’t have a single meal since his mom was having severe problems finding baby food for him.
The police officer didn’t stay aside and worked a real wonder for the baby.
Ambrosio, 33, was not only one of the hundreds of police representatives, who were raised to help people who had lost almost everything to the severe storm. As the woman is also a mother of two, she felt for every kid who suffered in that overwhelming hurricane, like for her own.
As she met that woman with a baby, she focused mainly on the kid and his urgent needs. She immediately asked the baby’s supposed mom or aunt, how could they help her. Luckily, Arizbeth was breastfeeding her own baby at that time, so when she heard that the baby was starving, she didn’t hesitate even for a second and asked if she could feed the stranger’s child.
The woman, who accompanied the baby, happily agreed to the police officer’s suggestion. As soon as the woman placed the almost 4-month-old baby on Arizbeth’s body, the baby stopped crying and was satisfied by the body contact and the food.
Arizbeth’s kindness was totally sincere and she did it from all her heart.
Ambrosio is a member of a special Mexico City organization that specializes in search and rescue. Her unit is named “Zorros” and it is made up of 100 agents, who were all mobilized during the storm in Acapulco, which was estimated as a Category 5 hurricane. A lot of people were still missing after the storm, and many people suffered the severe consequences of the hurricane.
Military personnel and volunteers spent several days removing debris along Acapulco’s area. In such horrible conditions, the police officer, feeding the starving baby, seemed an oasis of hope for everyone.
