Rhodora Alcaraz is a Filipino domestic worker who became widely known for her bravery in protecting a three-month-old infant during a massive fire at the Tai Po, Hong Kong, wang f*k court apartment complex on November 26, 2025.
Actions During the Fire
Rhodora Alcaraz had only arrived in Hong Kong a few days prior to the five-alarm fire. When the fire broke out, she and the infant were trapped in their apartment unit. As the situation became worst, her sister made a public plea for help on social media.
In an act of "unconditional love and responsibility," Alcaraz used her body to shield the infant from the heat and toxic smoke. When firefighters successfully rescued them several hours later, she was still holding the baby tightly in a protective embrace.
Current Condition
Following the rescue, both were immediately taken to the hospital. The infant's condition was reported as stable.
Due to severe injuries, likely from prolonged smoke inhalation, Alcaraz was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and required intubation to assist her breathing. Doctors noted that once her condition is stable, she might need to be transferred to another hospital for further treatment.
Her story has been widely shared across Hong Kong and internationally, with many people praising her selflessness and contributing to relief funds for fire victims. Various organizations, including the Philippine Consulate, are providing assistance and monitoring her situation.
She is a real hero an eye opener to all employers that they should treat the helpers well.they will help you even put their life in danger for the safety of the child. feed them well, treat them humanely..
