Boynton Woman Blessed With Good Samaritans

By Don Valentine

   The next time you’re in the 10 item line in the store and the person in front of you has 23 items, recall this story. We know God blessed us with “Free  Will!” Some people choose to be selfish or evil. Then some put your faith back in mankind!

Consider the selflessness of 5 Boynton Beach residents to stop a moving car and rescue one of their coworkers. The driver, Laurie Rabyor, spoke with WPTV and said she was filled with gratitude and joy after the good Samaritans came to her aid. She became unconscious May 5 at the intersection of Congress Avenue and Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach. A medical emergency made her have a seizure while driving into the intersection.

Jannette Rivera, Rabyor’s co-worker, was nearby when the emergency occurred that day and waved down other drivers for help. “I didn’t think about my life, you know. I just saw her going to the other car and the other car was going to hit her. She’s going to get hurt. But I tried to do my best.”

Several Good Souls came to the rescue, collectively stopping the car while one person tried to break a window with his fist. Moments later, a woman grabbed a dumbbell from her car and handed it over to another man, who broke the glass.

Royal Caribbean is generously donating a six- to eight-night Caribbean cruise. In addition they gave a $2,000 gift card to each of the good Samaritans and the driver who was rescued, police announced Friday! This makes you believe in the good in man. It shows that our good Lord works in mysterious ways. Those strangers innately united to risk their own safety to do the compassionate thing!
