'A hero is someone who displays selflessness, bravery, and noble character. Andrea did not think about herself—she thought about those in need,' CPFD's post read.
'Her actions prove that heroism isn't about recognition or grand gestures; it's about putting others first and stepping up when it matters most. In that critical moment, Andrea's true character shined through, making a real difference in the lives of others.'
