Due to her phone call OCSO dispatcher were able to get help started to the residence. 7 year old Alicia soon took over the call and kept her sister calm while speaking with 911, "I did what my mother taught me to do", said Alicia. The girls' mother only remembered waking up to find a deputy and medical personnel inside her home. "I am so thankful for my girls", said Marcia Ann Washington, "I have been blacking out recently so I thought it was a good plan to teach them to call 911 and their grandmother just in case something bad were to happen."

Sheriff Whetsel presented the sisters with certificates and special Christmas presents for their heroic actions, "They were calm and did exactly what was necessary to get their mother help", said Whetsel "we are very proud of what they did."
