A Colorado woman has reached out to thank the anonymous Good Samaritan who saved her life at a Walmart last month—via a newspaper ad. The Summit County woman, identified only as Teresa, stopped breathing after experiencing a seizure and collapsed at a Walmart in Frisco, reports CBS Denver. Walmart employees asked for help over the intercom from anyone with medical experience, and a female customer arrived to perform CPR until medical personnel arrived.

“She came to my aid and I believe that she saved my life that day,” Teresa tells the station. “I’d like to give her a hug and do something nice for her.” A woman, apparently her hero, did call after Teresa placed her thank-you ad in the local newspaper, but she wanted no reward. "I’m glad that there are still people out there that come to aid others,” Teresa says. (More random acts of kindness stories.)
