Dear Editor:

Iwas walking to church at St. Edmund’s parish at Fifth Street and Mahon Avenue on Saturday, May 14 when I tripped on the sloping curved corner at 14th Street and Chesterfield Avenue. I fell so hard I felt the crash and hurt the back of my shoulder.

Two people, young men named Joey and Greg, came to my aid separately and about nine other people rallied round and helped me into Greg’s car. Greg had just come from Lions Gate Hospital, but was quite prepared to turn around and head back again.

I’m ever so grateful to these people, especially to Joey and Greg who helped without a question. I would like to send a big hug and thanks – such kindness and willingness to help makes me thankful to live in such a caring community.
