I was living alone in an apartment and knew no one else living there. It was winter and we had a heavy ice storm--2 to 3 inches of solid ice covered everything. I was on my way to work, when I slipped, bending my left ankle from my toes to the back of my calf. Of course, it was broken, but the funny part of this is that my dress flew up over my head!

So there I was, sitting on the ice, my ankle broken, my dress up over my face, my butt slowly freezing to numbness, and in horrible pain. Just then two young men I didn't know came along, saw me there crying, and rushed right over to me. They were strapping young fellas and picked up this plus-sized lady like I was a feather and brought me back into my apartment.
I was going into shock by then, and they called 911 and waited with me, one holding my hand and speaking slowly and gently to me that they would stay until the EMT's came. I never even got those guys names, and I never saw them again, but I will never forget how kind--and how strong, yet gentle--they were. I thank God for them every day!
