She had 45 days to save two lives and nobody to help her do it
Manage episode 502142201 series 3492327
What happens when you're facing the impossible and there's literally no one coming to save you? Garcia was 8 months pregnant, 1,000 miles from home, with an 8-year-old daughter by her side. No family. No friends. No support system.
Then came the double attempted homicide that changed everything.
Choked and beaten while 8 months pregnant, Garcia escaped with her daughter to a neighbor's house at 11:30 PM, barefoot in pajamas. The police gave her a piece of paper with 1-800 numbers and said "do your thing."
She had exactly 45 days until her due date to figure out how to save two lives - her unborn baby and her 8-year-old daughter. The crushing reality? She was completely on her own.
900 phone calls later, Garcia discovered the brutal truth about crisis: when you need help the most, the system fails you. But she also discovered something else - sometimes being the only one who can save everything becomes your greatest source of power.
Discover how a woman with no resources, no support, and no time became her own savior - and why your isolation in crisis might be preparing you for your greatest breakthrough.
