On a sunny day in Florida, a family outing turned to tragedy when a jet ski accident threw three young girls into the water. Eleven-year-old Jordan Roe acted quickly and bravely, saving her eight-year-old cousin Laila, who later underwent multiple surgeries. Jordan’s sacrifice cost her life, but her protection saved Laila’s.
Jordan had always been the family’s little guardian, a caring soul with dreams to help others. Her mother, away at the hospital with a newborn, was shattered by the news, urging others to prioritize safety around water.
Laila fights to recover in the hospital, bolstered by the love and heroism of her cousin. Two fundraisers were launched to assist the family through this difficult time, highlighting how community support can help heal trauma.
Jordan’s story reminds us about the power of love and bravery, even from children, and the importance of protecting those we care about most.
