The mounted officers paused in the park, allowing people to admire their horses. Among the crowd was Maya, a young girl in a wheelchair, captivated by a chestnut mare named Luna. Officer Martinez noticed her longing gaze and knelt beside her. “Would you like to pet her?” he asked.
Maya’s fingers trembled as she touched Luna’s muzzle. Then, in a hushed voice, she whispered, “You’re supposed to find me.” Martinez froze. Maya explained she had dreamed of Luna and him, telling her not to give up. Her mother, apologetic, said Maya had been struggling since an accident left her unable to walk.
Days later, Martinez received a call about a missing boy. That same moment, Maya’s mother texted: “Maya had another dream. The boy is in a barn east of the crash.” Trusting her, Martinez searched the barn—and found the boy alive.
News spread, but Martinez credited teamwork. Privately, he thanked Maya. “You saved him.” She smiled. “Sometimes, we just have to listen.”
Inspired, the community created a therapy program with Luna at its heart. And while some doubted Maya’s gift, others believed—because sometimes, miracles happen to those who listen.
