However, her plans for the future would end sadly.On January 30th in 2017, the worst thing possible happened \u2014 and it was a terrible tragedy.Shelby Carter was home alone with her newborn daughter when their home suddenly caught fire.It spread quickly and in just a few seconds the house was filled with dangerous smoke \u2014 and there was no way to escape.Firefighters rushed to the fire-filled house, but when the flames were finally under control they made a horrendous discovery on the second floor.Shelby Carter had succumbed the smoke and died. She died from carbon monoxide poisoning.But in the middle of this tragedy, the firefighters found something amazing \u2014 and it showed them that a parent will do anything for her child.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in the most life-threatening circumstances, and with an incredibly limited amount of time, Shelby had the presence of mind to quickly strap her into the carseat.This hero mom had secured her newborn daughter in a car seat and then dropped her from the second-floor window.With her last breath, she sacrificed her life for her daughter\u2019s.When the firefighters<\/a> found the little girl, who is named Keana, they took her straight to the hospital worried that she had also been injured by the smoke.But, thanks to Shelby Carter\u2019s quick thinking and actions, her daughter was completely unscathed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just incredible that she was able to pull her thoughts together to save her baby\u2026 I\u2019d say it\u2019s nothing short of a miracle the way it ended up\u201d, Chief of the Wyoming-Speer Fire Protection District Ed Foglesonger told The Washington Post.Shelby Carter\u2019s death was painful blow to the residents of Wyoming, a close-knit town of 1,400 people about three hours southwest of Chicago.Following the catastrophe, neighbors started spreading the word on the Internet to help rebuild the house and provide some financial support for Shelby\u2019s family members.In just a few weeks, their fund reached almost $40,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
