A mother from Redwater thanked the community for their help after her 2-year-old daughter fell from a second-storey window last week.
Sabrinna Velthuis said her family was getting ready for bed when her daughter Brinley fell through the window screen.
"I went to the washroom, and the girls went into their room," said Sabrinna. "They were climbing on this very large dollhouse, and Brinley fell onto the screen and fell out the two-storey window."
Sabrinna said that several people rushed to Brinley's help before she even knew what happened.
"I live on the back side of a golf course, and all the guys who were on the ninth hole saw the screen fall out of the window, and they all jumped to my fence."
The good samaritans stabilized the young girl and called 9-1-1 as Sabrinna rushed outside.
"By the time I got down there I laid with her until the ambulance got there," said Sabrinna.
While at the Stollery Children's Hospital, Sabrinna said that she was told these situations happen quite often.
"From the time the snow melts until September, this happens once per week, but they're not always as fortunate as Brinley."
After Brinley was brought back home safely, Sabrinna took to social media to give praise to those who helped her daughter in such an emergency.
"I knew a couple of the people. I was definitely very thankful that there were so many people there."
Luckily, Brinley was not injured from the fall but was unable to walk for several days.
"The doctor told me it was because of her confidence."
Brinley has since begun to walk again, and Sabrinna added that she's looking to add bars to her windows to prevent another accident.
