Hero Rescues Sister During Carjacking

Ethan, 9, and his sister age 6 were in the backseat of their family car as their mom pumped gas. A man suddenly jumped in the driver’s seat and tried to steal the car. Their mom desperately attempted to stop him from driving away. She lunged in the car, and they both struggled for the keys. That’s when he pulled a gun on her. Ethan quickly took action and got himself out of the car. He ran to the other side and opened his sister’s door, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got her out safely before the man drove off with their car. Ethan’s family knows the outcome could have been very different if it wasn’t for his composure, quick thinking, and bravery. He was nominated by his mom, and his family is so proud of his heroic act of love. Kids Wish Network is honored to reward Ethan as a Hero
