I would like to publicly thank a good Samaritan who saved my daughter Gabrielle’s life on July 3 at 7:45 a.m. on Ross Road in Kennebunk. She was heading to work at a local daycare when she started to choke in her car. Thank God she was smart enough to get out of her car and try to flag down some help. Several cars passed her by and no one called 911. She thought she was going to die right there.
A mystery woman with blond hair and a silver car stopped and performed the Heimlich maneuver that saved my daughter’s life. Gabby did black out, so I do believe that this woman truly did save her life. Gabby has broken ribs, but my family and I know this is a small price to pay for her life, and we are so grateful to this mystery angel.
