LETTER: Firefighters lend a hand

Dear Editor: Thank you to the gentleman who helped me on Jan. 10 after I took a nasty fall on the sidewalk of East 12th and St. Georges. I knew it was not going to end well; I sustained a fractured upper arm.

Dear Editor:

Thank you to the gentleman who helped me on Jan. 10 after I took a nasty fall on the sidewalk of East 12th and St. Georges. I knew it was not going to end well; I sustained a fractured upper arm.

A young man on a bicycle tried to get me up off the ice but the pain was too severe for me to assist. One gentleman went to the fire hall for assistance and I was eventually escorted to Lions Gate Hospital by firefighters who were really good and helpful.

People’s kindness and compassion are never far away it seems. They always show themselves when the moment arrives. Your help when I was unable to help myself made a rotten day so much better.
