Late last year, Hurricane Otis recently wreaked havoc in Acapulco, Mexico, leaving the coastal city in ruins. Arizbeth, amid the chaos, tirelessly performed her duties, clearing debris, and aiding those who had lost almost everything to the unforgiving storm. Amidst the destruction, a faint cry caught her attention – the cry of a hungry baby.
Approached by a distressed mother, panic in her eyes, Arizbeth learned that her four-month-old baby had gone without a meal for two days as baby food was scarce following the hurricane. Ambrosio, not just a police officer but also a mother of two, was determined to provide any necessary care needed for children affected by the hurricane as if they were her own.
Focusing on the immediate needs of the starving infant, Arizbeth, who was breastfeeding her own child at the time, wasted no time. The Washington Post revealed that, in an act of selfless compassion, she offered to feed the hungry baby. The child’s mother gratefully accepted the offer, and as soon as the baby was placed in Arizbeth’s care, the cries stopped.
Arizbeth Ambrosio belongs to the “Zorros,” a specialized Mexico City organization dedicated to search and rescue operations. Mobilized during the Category 5 hurricane in Acapulco, her unit comprised 100 agents working tirelessly in the aftermath of the storm, per the Daily Mail. Amidst the chaos and devastation, the image of a police officer breastfeeding a starving baby became a beacon of hope for all.
Days later, Ambrosio’s commendable act reached her superiors. Summoned to the headquarters of the secretary of security for Mexico City, she met with Pablo Vázquez Camacho, the city’s police chief. In a thorough debriefing, Ambrosio shared her experience of saving the baby. It was then that she received the news of her promotion from “policía primera” to “suboficial,” meaning that she would be supervising her own team of officers.
Arizbeth Ambrosio’s story and selfless act serves as a reminder that even in the darkest storms, humanity’s light can shine through.
