Kids & Family Grabbing a Hold of “HOPE”(Part 2) Written by Rosheka Cabell ”Live and not die,” were the words last spoken over Julia, before being involved in a tragic accident that tried to claim her life. Doctors said she would never walk again. Through anger and tears, Julia wondered if their words were true. Let’s find out the conclusion of the matter… Her baby sister looked at her and said, “We can still play... right, Jules? Right, Jules?” Julia’s mother looked at Hope and said, “Baby, just like your name, Julia has to hope that she will walk again, and trust God. If she supplies the faith, God will do the rest.” Almost a year had passed and Julia was sitting in her wheelchair playing catch with her baby sister. She had finally accepted the condition she was in, and the fact that God loved her enough to spare her life. Julia had no choice but to accept the Lord into her life. She had never known love like this before, and it was the most wonderful thing she had ever experienced. She believed that one day she would walk again; but it would be in God’s timing. As she tossed the ball to her little sister, she was the happiest she had ever been. Hope did not catch the last toss her sister had thrown and the ball rolled out into the middle of the street. Before she knew it, Julia saw her little sister go after it. She screamed “Hope!” as she saw a car that was raring down the residential area and quickly approaching. Instantly, she lifted herself from her wheelchair, and with all her strength set her feet on the ground and started to run towards her little sister. She reached out grabbed a hold of Hope’s arm and pulled her toward her as the two tumbled backwards together and rolled out of the way of the vehicle. Hope screamed, “Julia! You can walk! You can walk!” She began to cry as she planted tiny kisses all over her sister’s face. Julia could do nothing but weep as she looked up to heaven and glorified God. She began to smile and said to herself, “When you grab hold onto Hope (peering into her sister’s eyes), anything can happen. Anything.” 13 12
Wellness CAN YOU ? Written by Jordan Reynolds February is recognized as American Heart Month and <strong>TGM</strong> wants to celebrate by sharing a matter close to the heart. Stop the Bleed® is a national awareness campaign that trains individuals how to control and stop life-threatening bleeding. So while many people tend to think “there is no way I can help in an emergency situation,” Stop the Bleed® aims to show the common man that if you are willing, you CAN save a life. Leslie Shaffer, CCTP, is a lead instructor for the Las Vegas valley campaign. She is a highly qualified nurse with a background in critical care paramedics, tactics combat and casualty care; an instructor for American Medical Response (AMR); and desires to be a physician’s assistant. How did Stop the Bleed® begin? LS: It began in 2012 as a result of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting. It arrived here in Las Vegas with the help of AMR and Medic West in 2018. Why is this class so important? LS: Twenty-six people died that day in Sandy Hook, not including the shooter, and 20 were kids. When the morgue received those 20 bodies, they discovered 80 percent had potentially survivable injuries. If someone had simply applied direct pressure, if someone had tied a tourniquet, some of those kids would be alive today. Unfortunately, teachers did not have this training. Medical responders on average here in Las Vegas take up to seven to 10 minutes to get to a call. When a patient can bleed out in three minutes, time is of the essence. We saw this with the October 1 shooting on the Strip, and now need to train everyone so they know how to react in a bleeding emergency if they have to. Can anyone sign up for the course? LS: Of course! Anyone can benefit from this free program. It’s simple and fun! It is also a great way to add life skills to your toolbox of life. You even leave with a free certificate and it counts for two Trauma hours for ongoing education.
