Elizabeth, NJ – September 3 – Early Wednesday afternoon, a woman who had been

jogging on West Grand Street suddenly found herself in distress.

Looking for someone who might help, she noticed she was in front of CAU’s parking lot.

Seeing an attendant standing next to a small guard house, the woman approached the

tall gentleman asking for assistance. Known as “LT” by most people, the CAU member

suggested that she sit down and offered the jogger a cold bottle of water. At that

moment a CAU staff member was pulling into the driveway. Immediately seeing the

emergency situation, the driver Aleyah Lacey stopped her car, got out and instantly

called 911. Ms. Lacey stated, “I noticed the woman’s skin tone changing color and that

she was starting to slump over. The jogger stated that she was having trouble

breathing and was experiencing chest pains.” To try and keep the woman focused and

calm Aleyah softly spoke with her as they waited for help to arrive.

Within moments both the Elizabeth paramedics and an ambulance arrived to assist.

Placing the jogger in the ambulance, the woman received medical attention and was

taken to a local hospital. Thanks to the quick action of LT and Aleyah a woman received

the care and support she needed in an emergency situation. Great team work

CAU Member, LT, calmed down the jogger

and got her a bottle of water
