A California mother died saving her drowning daughter in the San Joaquin River May 9, the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office said.
A mother's love knows no boundaries. That was especially true on May 9 when Brenda Duran jumped into the San Joaquin River in central California to rescue her drowning daughter. The mom watched her children playing in the water of a popular beach, but when her 11-year-old daughter could not keep her head above water, Duran rushed into the river, according to the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office.
Duran's body was recovered around 5:30 p.m. on May 11 outside Newman, California. She was just 30 years old. 'Brenda's husband describes her as a ‘very thriving person, always smiling, never giving up and very compassionate,’' Yadira Herrera wrote on a GoFundMe post on behalf of Duran's family. 'Brenda, a young mother full of love and laughter, leaves behind her three children, her husband and her extended family that will forever hold her in her heart.
