Georgia mom reportedly died after saving her children

A Georgia mom died from her injures after saving her three children from a house fire, according to reports by multiple outlets.

Madison Summerville, 23, jumped into action after a fire engulfed her mobile home in Griffin, 45 miles south of Atlanta, on Feb. 15. Summerville worked to save all three of her children, two sons and a daughter, by breaking a window and letting one of sons out. One neighbor and a man working at a trash collection site ran to help, WSBTV reports.

“The only thing we knew to do was get the babies out,” Bradley Wright, Summerville’s neighbor, told WSB-TV. “So my fiancé snatches the door open and she pulls out the first kid, and I performed CPR on him for about 10 minutes. I got kids about that age, and the only thing I knew was what any father would do: just step into action and make sure the babies were all right.”

The other man performed CPR on one of Summerville’s children. By the time Spalding County Fire Department arrived at the scene, Summerville was in cardiac arrest. Summerville and her children were then airlifted to a local hospital. The following day, Summerville died from her injures. Her two sons were discharged while her daughter still remains in the hospital, according to Atlanta News First. The Spalding County Fire Department reportedly is investigating what caused the fire.

Summerville will save more lives through organ donation

A GoFundMe page was created by Summerville’s sister, Chassidy Summerville, to raise to money for her funeral expenses.

“My sister so bravely lost her life trying to save three beautiful children from a house fire that had taken place at home,” Chassidy wrote in the GoFundMe post. “She lived a beautiful life even though it was cut short three days after her 23rd birthday.”

Chassidy describes her sister as a beautiful person who will continue to save the lives of people even after her death.

“Madison was also an organ donor so not only will she save her three children she will be saving eight more lives,” the post reads.

Chassidy wants her sister to be remembered as a bubbly person who liked to make people laugh, but also as a hero that she embodied as she saved her children during the fire.

“(Madison) did not have life insurance so if anyone would like to help us give this beautiful hero an amazing funeral she deserves all is appreciated.”
