Hey ladies,
I've been MIA this past week. Last Monday I was in a pretty severe car accident. I was rear ended then t-boned at 60 MPH. I had to be cut out of my car.
Most importantly, baby seems to be ok, and other than bruises and cuts, I only have a broken collarbone.
The first person who came to my aid was an amazing women. She prayed for me immediately. She hopped the median separating the freeway and climbed through my passenger window to get to me. She found my phone, helped me call my mom and husband. She packed all my personal effects to make sure I didn't lose anything. She kept me talking and calm. When they started cutting me out, I was scarred to get cut and she leaned over me, putting herself between me and the saws. She stayed with me until I was in the ambulance.
I want to do something for this amazing soul to thank her, but have no clue what to do. She's probably late 30s. She has 4 children, ranging in age from 5 - 17. I was thinking a gift card, but nothing seems right. WWYD?

fancy I'm crying at my desk reading about your experience, how scary it must have been and that amazing woman that came to your aid. I think a gift card is fine, my guess is the heartfelt note you include with it is what she will appreciate the most. I'm so glad you're ok and that there are still good people in this world!

fancy, I'm with laurensc927,, I'm crying at my desk. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that but I'm so glad that amazing woman was there for you. I think a gift card is a fantastic idea. If not, then maybe a plant - something that she can keep and appreciate for a while to come?

Goodness! So glad you're ok and baby is fine. I concur with the others, a note is probably what she will appreciate the most. I'd see if maybe you can find a little angel pin or something because that woman must be an angel.

Wow that's so scary and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I agree that a gift card or nice plant with a hand written letter is a great idea. I'm sure just knowing how much you appreciated her in that moment will probably mean the most to her. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery.

What an amazing woman. I'm so glad she was there for you. I'm also thrilled that you and your baby are ok.
A note from you would be wonderful. I was even moved just by what you wrote here. I think a gift card would also be a very nice thought. I'm not personally very religious, but I did like the idea of angel wings or some sort of little something to remind her of what a hero she is.

Thanks for the suggestions! I love the angel/wings idea. laurensc927 and peggels24, seriously the only time I get emotional is think about her and her actions. I have talked to her a few times via text and think that will continue too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ohmygosh, I am so glad you and baby are ok. That woman's kindness brings tears to my eyes.
I agree that a nite would be most appreciated. A gift card of some sort or the idea of some kind of guardian angel momento would be very thoughtful.
I'm really glad you're ok.

So glad to hear you and baby are okay. What a scary experience.
I agree with previous ideas. I love the idea of a plant since she seems to be a "caretaker" type.

How scary that must have been. I'm so glad you're both okay and that she was there to help you. I agree with PP that a heartfelt note to let her know how much you appreciated what she did would be wonderful. I like the gift card idea as well.

OMG how terrifying. I am so glad you are ok and the baby is ok.
I think a gift card is good, or you could do an engraved bracelet with something like guardian angel and a nice note.

Wow! How horrifying but the women staying with you is such an amazing story! I'm sure a note/gift would be great. I bet you could find something nice at the paper store. I'm glad you and baby are ok.

So scary! Glad you and the baby are safe! I agree that a note would be great. If you (through your texts) learn about a cause that is important to her (church, shelter, research, etc) you could make a donation in her honor.

Wow! How scary to have gone through that, but to have someone there to comfort you like that is amazing. +25 to the angel wings and the keychain idea is wonderful.
So glad you and baby are doing okay.

Did you ever end up sending something fancy? Seeing this bumped gave me all the feels again.
