Ellen Meets Viral NYC Firefighter and His Baby Daughter
Ellen DeGeneres has brought laughter and joy into the lives of millions of people across the globe with her hilarious talk show. However, in more recent times, she has become known for something else – her efforts to bring attention to viral sensations that display incredible feats of kindness, courage, and love. Her show, ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show,’ has been host to numerous such stories in the past, and it recently featured yet another heartwarming story about a New York City firefighter and his baby daughter.
Anthony Almojera, an FDNY firefighter, was on duty during a call in 2019 when his colleague, Liz O’Brien, noticed something in the back of the ambulance. It was a little girl, the daughter of the woman who had been rescued from a burning building. The girl was barely a few months old and was suffering from smoke inhalation. Being a mother herself, Liz’s maternal instincts immediately kicked in, and she took charge of the situation. She asked if anyone was fluent in Spanish, as the baby and her mother were non-English speakers, and Anthony volunteered.
Anthony quickly got to work performing CPR on the little girl, who showed no signs of movement. However, after a few moments of hard work, the baby began coughing and gasping for air. Within minutes, the baby began to recover, and by the time they reached the hospital, she was already breathing on her own. This incident marked the beginning of an incredible story that was shared millions of times on social media and made Anthony and Liz celebrities.
Ellen DeGeneres, who is well-known for having an eye for such human interest stories, was quick to invite Anthony and Liz to her show to share their story. During the show, Ellen surprised Anthony by first airing a video of him in action, saving the baby’s life, which reduced him to tears. Ellen then went on to interview Anthony and Liz, who shared their experience in detail. Anthony recalled the incident with tears in his eyes, saying that he just did what he would have done for his own child, and Liz described the moment she realized that the baby was beginning to recover. Ellen also took the opportunity to gush over the baby, who was now a chubby little girl.
The story of Anthony Almojera and his colleagues’ heroic efforts managed to touch people around the world who were awed by their bravery and quick thinking. However, it’s the humanity and compassion they exhibited that has made them true inspirations. Ellen’s efforts in bringing these stories to the attention of the world help remind us all that there is more good than bad in this world, and every little act of kindness counts. The story of Anthony, Liz and the little girl they saved will forever continue to touch and inspire people and will keep spreading goodness and positivity.
