Laura Abrahams, an 89-year-old Palm Coast resident, wants to thank two young women who stopped to help her recently after she fell outside a Winn-Dixie in Palm Coast.
"I was trying to step up on the curb and next thing I knew, I flipped around and flopped down on the sidewalk with my legs up in the air," Abrahams said.
She said two women stopped their car in the middle of the street and began to help her up with no hesitation. Abrahams said she’ll be rehabbing for a few days but that she’ll be OK.
“I’m a tough old lady,” she said. “I just wanted to say, ‘thank you.’”
