In a heart-wrenching scene that unfolded in a bustling city, a cry for help echoed through the streets—a plea for mercy from a scared and injured puppy, hidden away in a desperate attempt to shield himself from the world.
The call came to Animal Aid, an organization dedicated to the welfare of animals in distress. With urgency in their hearts, they mobilized their team and set out to rescue the frightened pup from the shadows of fear.
As they approached the scene of the distress, they were met with a sight that pierced their souls—a small, trembling figure cowering beneath a bag, his eyes wide with terror and pain. It was clear that this pup had been through unimaginable suffering, his body bearing the scars of neglect and abuse.
With gentle hands and soothing words, the rescuers sought to coax the pup out from his hiding place, offering reassurance and comfort in the face of his fear. But the pup remained wary, his instincts telling him to retreat further into the darkness.
Undeterred by the challenge before them, the rescuers employed a clever tactic—they used crackers, a simple yet effective lure to entice the pup out into the open. Slowly but surely, the scent of the treats proved irresistible, and with cautious steps, the pup emerged from his hiding spot, his eyes wary but curious.
With a mixture of relief and determination, the rescuers gently scooped up the pup, cradling him in their arms as they whisked him away to safety. And as they arrived at Animal Aid’s facilities, they knew that the journey was far from over—the pup would need extensive medical care and rehabilitation to heal his wounds, both physical and emotional.
But despite the challenges ahead, there was hope in their hearts—for the pup, and for all the animals like him who had been cast aside and forgotten by society. With each passing day, the pup grew stronger and more confident, his spirit buoyed by the love and support of those around him.
And today, thanks to the tireless efforts of Animal Aid and the unwavering kindness of strangers, the once scared and injured pup is thriving—a testament to the resilience of the canine spirit and the power of compassion to transform lives.
So here’s to Jumper, the brave little pup who dared to hope in the face of adversity, and to all the animals who have found solace and sanctuary in the arms of those who care. May their stories inspire us to be kinder, more compassionate beings, and may we never turn a blind eye to those in need.

‘Miracle’ Man, 29, Who Woke Up From 244-Day Coma Killed By Pickup Truck
Upon awakening from an eight-month coma, a man was fatally struck by a pickup truck.
Florida resident Drew Kohn gained notoriety as a “miracle” guy in 2017 after he survived an accident.
Tragically, though, the 29-year-old was struck and killed on July 26, 2024—more than six years after waking up from a 244-day coma.
Yolanda Osborne-Kohn, his mother, said to WTLV, “God granted my request, and I’m not angry.”
“I’m not irate. I’m content. After seven years, I distinctly recall telling myself, “Thy will be done,” while seated on Drew’s hospital bed.
Kohn was hit by a pickup truck at around 5:30 in the morning while he was allegedly strolling east on a Jacksonville, Florida, street.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office released the following statement to People magazine: “At that time, it was dark, and the pedestrian was not wearing reflective clothing.”Sadly, the pedestrian was struck in the outer lane by the pick-up truck driver who failed to see him. The pickup truck’s driver pulled over and dialed 911. After arriving on the scene, Jacksonville Fire and Rescue (JFRD) declared the person dead.
The driver of the truck remained at the scene, according to the authorities, and no one else was harmed or engaged.
It was also revealed that the medical examiner’s office and traffic homicide detectives had both been on the scene and were conducting their own investigations.
Kohn’s family established a GoFundMe page after the accident to assist with paying for his burial expenses as well as “medical expenses he accumulated.” As of this writing, more than $18,000 has been raised.
He was only “days away from his 30th birthday,” according to the fundraiser’s description, which also calls him a “modern-day miracle.”
Days before becoming 23 years old, years before Kohn’s tragic death, he had been in a terrible accident that had left him unconscious.
On July 17, 2017, Kohn’s motorcycle crashed into a car while he was riding it to the gym.
According to WTLV, the 22-year-old was taken to the hospital in a critical condition and placed in a coma due to a traumatic head injury, shattered shoulder, impaled lungs, and other injuries.
“Doctors thought he was brain dead and would never walk or talk again,” the GoFundMe website continues.
Oshnourne-Kohn told WTLV that, considering the likelihood of her son’s death, medical professionals advised her to gather her son’s organs for donation. She did, however, trust in God.
“My faith gave me the boldness to speak up and push back and let them know ‘You’re not getting a toenail or an eyelash,’” the mother stated.
When Kohn emerged from a coma nearly a year after the crash, First Coast News reports that he said, “Yeah, Mom, I’m okay.” Mom, you are loved.”
Kohn gradually made a full recovery, going on to call himself “a modern-day miracle” and say, “My story represents never giving up hope.” God is the source of all possibilities. All I want to do is encourage them to never give up.
Kohn “is now completely healed and free,” according to the fundraising.
