After hearing about an Amber Alert in Minnesota, a woman named Barbara Gusse played a vital role in the rescue of a 1-year-old boy. But in this positive news story, the observant woman insists she\u2019s not a hero, just a grandma!<\/p>\n

One snowy morning in Minnesota, the mother of 1-year-old Da\u2019Merion White made a grave mistake she\u2019ll likely never forget. After strapping the little boy inside her vehicle, she quickly ran back inside to grab something.<\/p>\n

But when she returned, her Jeep was gone, along with her son.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the young boy\u2019s family was consumed with worry. Police immediately issued an Amber Alert in Minnesota and went to work looking for the missing child.<\/p>\n

Everyone prayed for the boy\u2019s safety. And God used an observant grandma to help bring the boy home!<\/p>\n

Amber Alert Minnesota<\/p>\n

Grandmother Barbara Gusse has a passion for birdwatching. And on the day Da\u2019Merion went missing, God used her hobby and divine timing to bring about a happy ending.<\/p>\n

Barbara had just come inside from feeding the birds in her yard when her watchful eye noticed something strange out the window. She spotted a white SUV idling in the parking lot of the church across the street.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was running, you could see the exhaust because it was so cold,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Right at that moment, the Amber Alert from Minnesota police came through her phone. The observant grandma instantly recognized the vehicle description in the alert matched the same vehicle in the church parking lot. She grabbed her birdwatching binoculars and confirmed the license plate number was one in the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart went to my feet,\u201d Barbara Gusse later recalled. \u201cI was shaking so bad I couldn\u2019t hold a cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbara called the police right away and waited by the window, worried sick. As a grandma herself, she couldn\u2019t stop thinking about how she\u2019d feel if the missing child was one of her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was thinking about my own grandchildren,\u201d Barbara later told her daughter. \u201cIf something like that happened to them I would be beside myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grandma To The Rescue<\/p>\n

Once the police arrived, Barbara bundled up and rushed outside. Police were opening the doors to the vehicle and the sound Barbara heard hit hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could hear that baby crying and you know where my heart went, to the ground. I started shaking and crying,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

WATCH: Grandma Helps With Amber Alert Rescue In Minnesota<\/p>\n

The 1-year-old boy inside the vehicle was the one from the Amber Alert in Minnesota. And thankfully, he was safe and sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was all smiles when the officers picked him up,\u201d reported the spokesman for Minneapolis Police Department, John Elder. \u201cHe appears to be a pretty good-natured little guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a precaution, police sent the child to the hospital where doctors confirmed he was just fine. But without the help of Barbara Gusse, the story could have had a very tragic end. John Elder went on to point out that the dangerous Minnesota winter temperatures could have proved fatal if the abandoned vehicle had run out of gas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so thankful that he was OK, that he\u2019s with mom and dad,\u201d Barbara said. \u201cThat\u2019s all that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

And while those involved are calling Barbara a hero, the humble woman insists she is nothing of the sort.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney, I\u2019m no hero. I\u2019m just a grandmother,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
