The mother of a 10-year-old Texan girl is on a reward mission after her child was rescued from a deadly rip current. She wants to fund a dream wedding and honeymoon for the heroic savior and his fiancée to express gratitude for his outstanding act of bravery.

In August, Haylee Whiting was on a vacation with her siblings, mom, and grandmother in Monterey, California, when the little girl got into trouble in the water. Her mother, Samantha, requested she return to the shore but noticed that Haylee was being pulled deeper out in the sea.
