One lady has been dubbed an “angel” for perhaps saving the life of a 64-year-old man.
On Christmas Eve, after hearing Joe White beg for help outdoors in the frigid weather, Sha’Kyra Aughtry pulled him inside her house in the Buffalo region, which recovers from a “disastrous” winter storm. Although she dialed 911, no emergency personnel arrived.
To melt the ice off White’s hands, which were red and blistered, Aughtry used a blow dryer. In a Facebook video, she claimed that she begged for help in obtaining him medical treatment. Good Samaritans subsequently arrived to transport White and Aughtry to the hospital.
Yvonne White, White’s sister, expressed on Wednesday that her brother would not have lived if it hadn’t been for Aughtry.
She explained that her brother has the mental ability of an 11-year-old child. He would’ve passed away and been another statistic in this storm if it hadn’t been for this angel, if it hadn’t been for this great, fantastic human being.
According to Yvonne, her brother is in good condition at the hospital.
Yvonne described Aughtry’s actions as “wonderful,” noting that she and her brother now have an extended family member.
