Editor:
I was on my way into Shoppers Drug Mart in Tsawwassen on Sunday afternoon to get a prescription filled. As I was entering the store, I fell and in the process seriously cut and broke my nose as well as damaged my right shoulder.
I was bleeding quite profusely from the cut on my nose. As well, the pain from my shoulder was very pronounced. Two ladies from the store helped me immediately as did an off-duty firefighter. They helped stop the bleeding, supported my shoulder and called for an ambulance to transport me to Delta Hospital.
I want to express my sincere thanks to those individuals, whose names I do not know, who came to my assistance so quickly and made me feel more comfortable. It is very reassuring to see that “helping others” is still something done in our society.
This sort of willingness makes our home a better place in which to live and is reassuring despite all the problems we hear about in the news. Perhaps making the helping of others more widely known would be beneficial to our society in general and could serve as a very positive behaviour models for our young folks.
