Sha’Kyra Aughtry was at her home on Christmas Day when she heard someone shouting on her street. When she looked outside, she saw a man calling for help in the cold. She brought the man, 64-year-old Joe White, into her home to warm up but she feared it was too late. His hands had frostbite(冻疮) and his body was looking worse and worse the longer he stayed in her home.

In search of help, Aughtry took to Facebook Live. “We gotta get some help,” she said on the livestream. “He has gangrene(坏疽) on his hands. He’s going to lose his fingers. I don’t know what else to do. I have fed him. I have bathed him.” “I’m going crazy because I’m scared. I’m starting to see his body change too much from the time that I had him—his body has changed rapidly every hour.”

Aughtry said she made an emergency call but due to the snowstorm, emergency workers were unable to respond to calls for hours over the weekend. Ambulances(救护车) were getting stuck in the thick snow.

Finally, her request was answered. A group of men arrived and took Joe to the hospital on Christmas night. “I’m in the car with him and some nice Samaritans that came and got us out,” she said in another Facebook livestream.

Joe is now recovering in the ICU with fourth-degree frostbite, his sister Yvonne White said. Yvonne has expressed her thanks to Aughtry. “We were all trying to help each other and it was wonderful,” Yvonne said. “He was in a mess. And Aughtry clearly saved his life.”
