A house RESOLUTION

TO SALUTE LAURA CADY OF JAMES ISLAND FOR HER QUICK THINKING AND CALM DEMEANOR UPON DISCOVERING A SEVERELY INJURED PERSON IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO THANK HER FOR THE SWIFT ACTIONS THAT HELPED SAVE THE LIFE OF THAT PERSON, JENNIFER DRUMMOND.

Whereas, in the early hours of Wednesday morning, June 21, 2023, Laura Cady of James Island was driving through Woodland Shores Road with her parents when she saw an object on the road. As she drove closer to the object, however, she realized it was a person who was severely injured; and

Whereas, normally, Laura would have taken another route, but, as she said, "for some reason" she decided to go down Woodland Shores Road that day. It was surely a providential change of plan; and

Whereas, upon discovery of the injured person, her neighbor Jennifer Drummond, Laura called 911. Laura and her parents stopped traffic and stayed with Jennifer until first responders came; and

Whereas, although Laura received praise from the Drummond family for her efforts, she says stopping and staying with someone who is hurt is what neighbors do; and

Whereas, it is with great gratitude that the House of Representatives pauses to honor Laura Cady for her exceptional presence of mind in helping to save the life of Jennifer Drummond after Ms. Drummond sustained severe injuries on June 21. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, salute Laura Cady of James Island for her quick thinking and calm demeanor upon discovering a severely injured person in her neighborhood and thank her for the swift actions that helped save the life of that person, Jennifer Drummond.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Laura Cady.
