Thank you to those who stopped to help after a fall in Grover Beach

Last Friday I twisted my ankle and fell to the pavement on Grand Avenue in Grover Beach. It took the wind out of me, and I had to lie there for a few minutes to catch my breath.

A group of people stopped to help. One got a pillow for my head and ice for my ankle. Another called 911. They all offered words of comfort and stayed with me till the EMTs arrived. I am all right and want to thank those kind angels who took time from their day to help an old lady.

Mary Fahey, Pismo Beach
