Miracle Moore calls for help
Fair was in pain and there wasn’t enough time to take her to the hospital, so she asked her daughter to call 911.

While the paramedics were still on the way, Miracle followed all the instructions from the dispatcher and relayed them to her mother during the call which lasted nearly 11 minutes.
