Homeless Credited With Saving Woman, 93, From Burning Car

...see, they ARE good for something!
LANTANA, Fla. -- Three homeless people who pulled a 93-year-old woman from her burning car Thursday are being credited as heroes.
"We just happened to be in the right place. I believe God put us there for a reason," said Renee Streisant, a homeless woman who helped with the rescue.

Streisant said she and two other homeless individuals were standing in front of The Lord's Place thrift store on Hypoluxo Road in Lantana around 3:15 p.m. Thursday when a traffic collision caused the elderly woman’s car to catch fire. Streisant said she and the other two individuals pulled the woman out of the burning car before rescue workers arrived.
"You don't hesitate. You don't think this car is going to burst into flames and kill me, or burst into flames and kill her," Streisant told WPBF News 25.
Streisant said the elderly woman, whose name has not yet been released by police, was a well-known helper of the homeless and a volunteer at a center in West Palm Beach.

"I didn't even know who was in the car, to be honest, and then I found out it was someone near and dear to the area," Streisant said.
The woman was taken to Delray Beach Medical Center for treatment. She was listed in critical condition Friday.
Streisant said she is currently looking for a job as a nanny, and just happened to be in the right place at the right time to help. She told WPBF she hoped people would look at the homeless a little differently from now on.

"All people do good deeds everyday -- we just happened to be three people that are homeless. We aren't homeless people first -- we are people," Streisant said.

True that. Amen, sister.
