Denise worked as a 911 call respondent, inspired by her father, a police officer. Although she couldn’t join the force due to a disability from a car accident, she found her place serving through emergency response.
One day, she received a strange call—a woman named Jane whispering a pizza order. At first, it seemed like a prank, but Denise sensed distress. Through coded responses, Jane confirmed she and her daughter were in danger from an armed man—her abusive husband.
Denise quickly traced the call and dispatched help. Police arrived just in time, rescuing Jane and her daughter, Matilda. The husband was arrested, and the two were taken to safety.
Jane later met Denise to thank her. She shared that her husband changed after losing his job, becoming violent. A recent outburst led him to lock them inside. Jane risked everything to call for help.
Thanks to Denise’s instincts, Jane gained full custody of Matilda. With therapy and support, their lives began to heal. Denise was grateful she listened—one call saved two lives.
Lessons:
- Trust your instincts—Denise’s second listen saved a life.
- Hard decisions can protect your family—Jane’s courage gave her and Matilda a new start.
