Colleen Woelders calls it pretty incredible.
She contacted Castanet to praise a young man who stopped to save the life of a homeless man found frozen outside of her business.
It happened on Friday morning, December 31, 2021 at Kelowna Hair Design, 1525 Gordon Drive.
“There was a man. He was found frozen to the ground in front of my hairdressing salon, and this young man who is a paramedic in town saved his life completely,” said Woelders.
She wants the Savior to be recognized: “He was an angel who stayed outside for many hours trying to thaw this man because he was frozen to the ground. When the ambulance came, they took him to the hospital. We were all very afraid that he wasn’t alive. Justin Radis, you are my hero. “
Radis also stayed to shovel the snow away from the front of her shop.
Woelders wanted him to get the recognition he deserves for making an effort to check the welfare of the people on the streets of Kelowna.
Last week, a homeless man was found dead on the 1400 block of Pandosy Street near the Queensway bus loop.
