The toddler’s mother Rachel Long, 30, did not survive the blaze, with Phillip telling ABC: ‘She’s the real hero of the story because she made the ultimate sacrifice to save her children.’Phillip, who now works in the security industry, used to play American Football and said that when he ran in to catch Jameson: ‘There wasn’t much thinking. I just reacted. I just did it.’The boy was ‘twirling in the air like a propeller’ as he fell but that luckily ‘I know how to catch’, Phillip said.
‘Reports say a passerby kicked in the door of an already engulfed apartment and heroically saved Roxxi. ‘Corey, her husband, has no home now and both children are currently hospitalized. He is facing costs of at least 8 surgeries for Roxxi. Please contribute if you feel led to help the Long family in these horrific times. They need our prayers and our finances.’
