Evana's Story

Evana was on her way back from running an errand at Home Depot. She smiled at a man passing by on the street. Seconds later, she witnessed him collapse. 

Evana looked around but saw no one else in sight. Cars were driving by on the busy street but they were all going too fast to notice the man lying on the sidewalk. She shouted out to him and nudged him, but there was no reaction. She poured water on him but he still didn’t react. So she knelt down and then, using her shirt as a mouth guard, she began CPR. Thirty compressions, two breaths. Repeat. And repeat again. And again. I can do this. I know what to do. Shortly thereafter, his eyes opened. He started breathing normally again. When the paramedics arrived, they couldn’t believe what had transpired—a high school girl had just saved this man’s life.
