Appreciation for the lift

After being in a single-car accident on 16 Avenue and Martin Drive during last month’s snowstorm, several very kind people came to my – and my car’s – aid.

The car jumped the median Feb. 26 and was halfway on the South Surrey side of 16 Avenue and half on the White Rock side.

At least three men managed to lift and back my car off the median. As well, there was a wonderful lady named Amanda – a Zellers employee – who was first on the scene and insisted on staying right with me until my car was safely off the median and BCAA had been notified. Amanda went home and returned to where I was parked with hot tea and cookies, as I continued to wait.

To all of you who helped me that evening, please accept my heartfelt thanks. This kindness of strangers was deeply appreciated both by me and my husband, who was anxiously waiting at home.
