On April 12, a man named Kyle Semrau, a father of two from Eliot, Maine, came home after working an overnight shift. He was feeling light-headed and tired, so he decided to rest the next day. His two children, 4-year-old Caleb and 6-year-old Macie, were at home with him.
Later that day, while in the basement, Kyle suddenly collapsed due to a medical emergency. He was struggling to stay conscious and couldn’t get up. Hearing her father scream, little Macie immediately ran to see what was wrong.
When she found her dad on the floor, she quickly tried to help. Kyle was still awake but weak, and he somehow managed to tell her his phone passcode before losing consciousness. Using that information, Macie unlocked the phone and went online. She typed “Eliot police” into the browser, found the number, and called for help — all by herself.
Within just two minutes, police officers arrived at their home. They quickly assessed the situation and got Kyle to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Thanks to Macie’s bravery, quick thinking, and calmness, her father’s life was saved. Kyle later said that his daughter would “always be my hero.”
