Decades after she was found abandoned in a dumpster, a woman is trying to track down the people who saved her.
In 1983, a baby was found wrapped in a blanket in a dumpster near a mall in Atlanta, Ga. Now, 36 years later, she wants to reconnect with her saviors.
Amanda Jones posted her plea on Facebook, hoping that someone would recognize her story so she can finally show her appreciation.
Along with the Facebook post, Jones shared a photo of herself holding up a sign reading, “Hi! My name is Amanda Jones, I am trying to find the person/people who potentially saved my life. I was abandoned as an infant at the Prado Business Mall at 56000 Roswell Road in January of 1983.”

Previously, she reportedly reached out to a DNA testing service to identify several of her biological family members, including her birth parents.
