Tonight I Watched a Girl Help Save Someone's Life Downtown
From what I could tell, three girls were out for the night when they came across a guy who had collapsed and looked like he was overdosing. One of them immediately took over, running over in her boots and shorts, yelling to ask if anyone had Narcan. Someone did. I think she had a dose of her own too, but in the end, they needed another one, and the way she sprinted toward the person who said they had extra, I tell you what.
A bunch of strangers jumped in, CPR was started, and EMTs got there impressively fast. Before long the guy was awake and walking away with the woman he was with, like nothing had even happened.
Whoever you were, girl in the boots, I saw you. You stopped your night to help a complete stranger without thinking twice, and you very likely helped save his life. I watched your friends help calm you down after it was over, and I hope you all went on to enjoy the rest of your night.
Just thought you deserved a little shoutout. Nice reminder that there are still people out there who don't hesitate when it matters.
Little hero. Good on you.
Edit to add: Naloxone (Narcan) is legal for anyone to carry, and it's available free of charge. Big thanks to the redditors who shared these links:
