December 22, 2017. Pocatello, Idaho.
It was a bitter, freezing morning. The temperature had plummeted, and the roads were slick with ice. Britney Edgington, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and mother of six, was driving home from a convenience store.
She usually took a different route. But that morning, something made her turn down a side street.
Then, she saw it.
A hunched figure was moving painfully slowly along the frozen sidewalk. It was a very elderly woman, struggling to push a walker through the snow.
But something was terribly wrong.
The woman wasn’t wearing a winter coat. She had no hat. No gloves. Just a light outfit in sub-freezing temperatures.
99-year-old Elsa Baker was standing on a sheet of ice, her skin turning bright red from the windburn. She was trying to cross the street, but her walker was slipping.
Britney slammed on her brakes.
