Photo Credit: CBS video screenshotA California man who helped rescue a newborn girl from a dumpster says he believes that the girl’s rescue was a miracle.

Jimmy Alvarez responded when he heard Jorge Miranda call for help Thursday just before 6 a.m.

Miranda was looking for cans and bottles in a south Merced apartment complex dumpster to sell for recycling, according to the Merced Sun-Star, when he found the baby girl wrapped in a towel under pizza boxes and plastic trash bags.

“He was shocked, he was scared,” Alvarez said of Miranda, who speaks limited English. “The baby was lying in the corner of the dumpster, half naked, the umbilical cord hanging.”

Miranda said the discovery made him feel “very bad.”
