They Looked Down And Saw A Note That Said “Please Help”, What They…

The note said “Please Help” and what they found inside was completely and totally shocking to say the least…

It was on New Year’s Eve in Fairbanks, Alaska that Roxy Lane spotted a box on the side of the road near the familiar row of mailboxes that was lined up by her home.



As she went out to investigate the large box by these mailboxes, Roxy realized yet again that it was bitterly cold out. It wasn’t long before she discovered that the cardboard box contained blankets, a note, and a newborn baby.

She told authorities about her find, and it was around 2 p.m. that members of the Alaska State Patrol had arrived.

Lane posted about the experience to Facebook, where she shared the sad story and her reaction to it in a video. She has since removed that video, however.

“Please help me!!!” the note shared by Lane read, according to Newsweek. “I was born today on December 31, 2021 [at] 6 a.m. I was born 12 weeks premature. My mom was 28 weeks when she had me. My parents and grandparents don’t have food or money to raise me. They NEVER wanted to do this to me.”

“My mom is so sad to do this. Please take me and find me a LOVING FAMILY. My parents are begging whoever finds me. My name is Teshawn.”

“Today I found an [abandoned] newborn in a cardboard [box] at the row of mailboxes by my house,” Lane wrote in her Facebook post, as reported by Newsweek.

“I’ve been processing my feelings all day and running through all the different scenarios and reasons, with my bf and family, as to why something like this could have happened.

“I hope the mother gets the help she might need. I doubt they [the parents] could have afforded to take her to the hospital and she may be in need of medical attention. Please, someone knows this new mom, check on her! She might be in a desperate situation, feeling abandoned herself. We don’t know, there could be a whole backstory here behind closed doors.”

A spokesperson for the Alaska State Troopers, Austin McDaniel, confirmed that Alaska does have Safe Haven laws, which are intended to prevent circumstances like this one.

“The child was discovered in subzero temperatures at around 2 p.m.,” he told “Today.”

“We have Safe Haven laws here, which means you can drop off a child at a fire station or a church — no questions asked — but they were left at an intersection.”

They took this baby to a hospital and luckily, they said he is in good health. Police continue to look into the incident.

“Honestly this kind of stuff happens more often than you would think,” Lane wrote, according to Alaska Public Media. “Somewhere along the line we’ve all failed this family…Everyone should have access to basic necessities and shouldn’t feel like they have to abandon their babies for it to have a better life.”

“He has endless possibilities in front of him, and who knows maybe he can be reunited with his mother if she needs help and gets that help.”
