Girl Scout Saves Father Using CPR

Eleven-year-old Vada Carawan from Virginia Beach heroically saved her father, Clint, from a heart attack just 11 days after learning CPR during a Girl Scout training session. On November 23, after noticing her father was unwell and eventually collapsing, Vada sprang into action, calling 911 and performing chest compressions while on the phone with paramedics. Despite feeling scared and initially doubting her abilities, she successfully revived her dad before he was taken to the hospital, where he is now recovering. Vada's quick thinking and recent training were pivotal in this life-saving event, earning her praise from first responders and her family, who refer to her as a 'lifesaver' and 'angel'. Her mother, Amanda Carawan, expressed immense pride in her daughter's actions, highlighting the importance of being prepared for emergencies. Vada's story serves as an inspiring reminder of the impact that lifesaving training can have.
