Little Boy Gives Scruffy Homeless Man CPR, 23 Years Later Gets a Letter about Becoming His Heir — Story of the Day
|A 9-year-old boy performs CPR on a homeless man and saves his life. 23 years later, the homeless man locates him and sends him a letter in which he transfers all of his wealth to him.
Kyle and his friends were playing in the park one day when a man dressed in rags emerged from the bushes, asking for help. Kyle, who had just run to the bushes to retrieve his ball, was terrified at his sight.
“Kyle, run! Don’t talk to him,” his friends yelled as they ran away, but there was something about the man that made Kyle freeze.

“Please help me, boy,” the man pleaded between heavy breaths. He looked terrible and smelled filthy, but Kyle was quick to notice that the man had not been able to breathe properly.
However, because of the man’s tattered look, Kyle was afraid. “I’ll call someone. Please wait,” he told the man as he turned to leave, but the man grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
“Ple – Please call an ambulance now. I – I can’t….” The man had only begun to speak when darkness engulfed his vision, and he collapsed on the ground.
Kyle took his hand out of the man’s grasp and looked around; he didn’t see any adults, and his friends had also left. What should I do? Should I go home and call mom? Suddenly, he remembered the first aid lesson he’d learned in school and decided to perform CPR on him.
Kyle’s father, Andrew Wilson, was a doctor by trade, and he’d taught Kyle that in an emergency, it was critical to help the person or they would die. That’s why Kyle didn’t waste much time looking for assistance. He knelt down, placed his little hands on the man’s chest, and began the procedure.
At the point when he was unable to apply his original capacity, he stood up from the floor and squeezed his palms firmly against the man’s chest a few times. It didn’t work, but Kyle didn’t give up. He continued the chest compressions while performing rescue breathing, bringing his mouth closer to the poor man’s. He continued doing that for a minute. After a few tries, the man jolted awake, and at that moment, a man in the park noticed Kyle.

“What happened? Is he okay?” the man asked worriedly as he approached Kyle and the poor man.
Kyle shook his head....
