“Dear PoPville,

Trying to find someone… was hit by a car (while walking) in the crosswalk of Columbia and Harvard st. at around 7:15pm last night. There was a woman who I THINK was named Peggy who was an absolute angel from the moment I hit the ground to getting inside an ambulance. I would love to be able to thank her properly!!!”

If you are or know Peggy please have her email me at [email protected] so I can put her in touch with OP. Thank you.
