Check out footage from NBC’s The Today Show featuring the touching story of 9-year-old Anaiah Rucker who pushed her 5-year-old sister, Camry, out of the way as an oncoming truck came toward them on their way to the bus stop last month in Madison, Georgia.
Anaiah suffered a broken neck, lost a kidney and damaged her spleen. Her left leg was shattered so badly that it had to be amputated. But she did what she had to do to save her sister’s life by pushing her out of the way. She told NBC:
“She was too young to get hit like this. If she got hit … she would be probably gone forever.”
She went on to say she loved her little sister more than anything and that although she feels like a hero she doesn’t really deserve to be one. “I just saved her life,” she said.
Their mother, Andrea Taylor, who witnessed the whole event as she watched the girls go to the bus stop, said she wasn’t surprised by Anaiah’s actions: “She has a really, really big heart,” she said. Upon Anaiah’s release from the hospital, the community held a barbecue last week to help raise money for her medical bills and make the necessary renovations to make their home wheelchair accessible. The United Bank in Madison has also established a fund in Anaiah’s name to assist the family. Click here for contact info on how to make a donation.
God bless this beautiful little angel. Something similar happened with my little sister and cousin. Only difference was, my cousin was not hurt as badly.

Awww!!! How brave and big sister of her!!!! This is so touching that it brought tears to my eyes!!!!
this is so sad
JESUS!!! Thank you and please touch this family! Glory God
F*ck Jesus!!! He did not save the young girl life. The big sister did. Jesus would have allowed her to get killed by the car. Innocent people get killed every day, Jesus don’t give a F*ck
KEM, May you RIP!
Sorry Kem, I meant that for Yes Sir.
YES SIR – U hv serious problems, just bcuz u don’t think JESUS saved that girl doesn’t mean u hv 2 post it.. U know wat I just hope JESUS blesses you and teaches u 2 believe.
One more thing do us a favor and join a church!!
woow she is brave and very touching story.May God be with them
i was very touched by this story. God bless them all
p.s- aint it funny how stories like this neva gets as many comments…if it was a rihanna post, need i say more?
Amen to that, CiCi. This little girl is a HERO. This should be getting national coverage, but you and I both know we won’t see this anywhere else.
This has nothing to do with Rihanna sweetie, stick to the topic.
I Think @CiCi Was Just Making a Point. No Need To Be Hostile.
rihanna fans will obviously get defensive. idiots
This lil girl has a massive heart. So touched by her story
This is just wow. This story is so amazing, just wow. God bless that whole family!
Greetings,
I have personal contact for her family. I spoke with her grandma and she is in good spirits.

wow. that is true love. Let this be a lesson parents you should walk your children across the street. my cousin got hit and is forever paralized because he ran across a busy street. they need to put a crosswalk out there
I was on the verge of tears, until Camry sneezed lol.
So sad, but as a big sister that’s the first thing that comes to mind “will/is my sister okay?”
Oh yeah did the pickup truck come out of nowhere? How was it not seen?
that is so beautiful.
thank you loop for the great postings
This took my breath away I can’t even watch the story but I’m already crying… this is so beautiful. I have a sister and I know that bond well. God bless this angel and her sissy poo
Hopefully her lil sister will not feel guilty the rest of her life, this is a heavy feeling to be honest, I hope when they grow up everything turns fine. What a brave girl, some adults wouldnt do it, this is heartbreaking.
I was crying from just reading the text. I’m scared to watch the video.
you are going to ball. I definitely did…this is such a touching story. God bless them.
This is such a touching story! And how HUMBLE the older sister is!! Oh my goodness! Its as though she cannot understand why the reporter kept asking why she did it….”b/c she’s my sister” WOW…..I wonder when Camry will actually grasp the concept of what her big sister actually did for her. But I do have one question: did the truck swerve into the middle lane where they were standing or did they do a last min dash across the street? I guess it doesnt really matter. God is SO GOOD! This seriously made me see sincerity in love from a child’s point of view.
Why didn’t the mother walk her children across the street???? Sorry, but she should have which is why her face had a guilty look on it, she’s praying people won’t pick up on her negligence…
smh…what a darling big sister, God Bless her and I pray the angels stay over both of their cipher for the rest of their lives…
girl i was here thinkin the same thing but I didnt wonna be negative. I just dnt understand why parents have there little kids walking to the bus stop. First off my kids wouldnt even be catching the bus.
Anyway, I am so sadden by this story. My heart goes out.
Meme you wouldn’t have been negative, it’s true that mother should have walked both her children across that big ole wide no children crossing street !!!!!!
Dang shame and I’m surprised many aren’t saying the same thing, probably to caught it the sadness of the sweet big sister losing her leg etc to realize how dumb of a fool the mother is for not walking her two young children across a hugeeeee street…
makes no sense at all….
Maybe the mom was too busy being concerned about The safety of her baby on the way(didn’t she look preggers??)
Toyia then she shouldn’t have children if she can protect them all…no excuse…see what happens when you don’t protect your child/ren when you CAN, but choose not to, the repercussions is no joke !!!!
I’m not sure if you know what this word means, but have you heard or autonomy? When kids get to a certain age they want to be able to do things on their own. So who knows, maybe for weeks the older sister was asking to walk her sister to school on her own. A mother can’t walk her kids to school everyday for the rest of their lives. So it makes sense that she was watching them walk to school. Everyone can say now that she should have walked them to school, but if this incident never happened you all wouldn’t be able to be on your high horses turning your nose down at this women.
These little angels have true guardians. @Peace, I totally agree. This is just as bad as parents letting their kids out of the car in the middle of the streets to go to school. Lazy lazy lazy!!!
After all that and they have to raise money for medical expenses. thats the last thing should be on her parents mind. damm what a country. glad i lived in Canada
I am in tears! This little girl is an angel walking amonsts us humans!
*this might have posted twice, my original comment didnt show up*
The post is so touching. I can’t watch the video. I know I’m gonna cry.
Wow she is so young and she is in my prayers
Beautiful human being. Thanks for posting this!
Just wowww.. I know God has is reasons… God bless Anaiah.. Go bless them both!
wow that girl is such a HERO … am only 16 and i think to my self could i have actting so fast the way that littel girl did.. she sooo brave .. god well bless her and her familey .xxx
I’m in tears watching and reading this. This is incredibly touching and so heroic. I’m going to share this with my sister but this really is.. I’m without words.
Thank you for posting this.
Wow, I couldn’t even imagine this. This girl is a HERO she saved her baby sisters life. She was willing to take the hit then her sister. Many adults don’t even think like this, let alone a nine year old. God is GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!
This Sister is GOOOOOOODDDDD!!! God would have allowed the child to get killed like so many other children murdered and raped every day!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m crying right now,this is so sad and so touching.
she is a brave girl, may god bless her
Time she said cause she’s my sister the flood gates opened I’m still a teary eyed mess…Her reflexes has to be swift to react so quick…or maybe her love for her sister was even more quick
This is heartwarming and sad at the same time. That little girl is brave, and i hope she doesn’t have to struggle too hard in her recuperation. It’s stories like this that remind me why I have no room to complain or be a crybaby about little setbacks here and there.
A beautiful soul!!! I hope the right people come forward to help her rehabilitate and maybe have a good prosthetic…I was sooo inspired and it really helped me keep my head up when I heard this story.
This made my day. Bless her heart. I know people who can’t stand their family meanwhile this girl laid down her life for her sister. Its beautiful and God Bless her.
Anaiah is such a brave little Angel. Wish her and her family all the best.
My the Lord continue to bless her.
May God continue to bless her soul. This is something her sister would never forget. I’m going to donate some money to her because she deserve it. (*_*)
I will be praying for this family. My goodness…I am all teared up after that. What a beautiful love story. If I had seen that happen to my boys, I would be a freakin basket case!
What a complex situation. Glad they’re both alive. She has such a beautiful soul.
Wow!! This is very touching!! God bless this family!
Where was the mother through this whole situation and why wasn’t she watching the kids while they were outside?
