There are everyday heroes among us, and ShaKyra Aughtry is one of them.

White is developmentally disabled, and when the storm hit he became stranded in a snow bank.

With the frigid temperatures, he was in bad shape.

With White inside, Aughtry began to care for the man.

She covered him in blankets, but she knew he needed serious helpthe frostbite was turning his hands gangrene.

Many emergency medical services were down, so Aughtry posted an urgent message on Facebook needing help.

It took two days, but more kind strangers eventually came to the rescue.

White remains in the hospital as doctors monitor his frostbite, but he will survive.

In the meantime, his sister cannot thank Aughtry and her family enough.
