A day at the beach is the best way to escape the oppressively high heat, but despite the fact that it might offer some respite, one mother from Massachusetts discovered that the shoreline also has a special set of risks.
She now wants to alert people to this.
Despite the fact that the incident occurred over a week ago, Heather Cassini reported that she is still “shaking.”
Declan, Cassini’s 10-year-old son, suddenly reported he didn’t feel well on July 4 as the 40-year-old mother and her were in Hampton Beach in New Hampshire.
Cassini wasn’t worried at first. Declan had been playing in the ocean, and it was hot.
In a now-viral Facebook post, Cassini wrote, “I thought the breakfast was just too much for the waves and he just needed to lay down.” Declan became “disoriented” and fell into a sunbather as soon as they started to head back so he could lay down.
He managed to get back up on his feet, but he fell to the ground once more.
Cassini told Today.com, “I’m trying desperately to pick him up because I’m pregnant.” He is throwing up and experiencing bouts of unconsciousness. He was really pale.
When a group of women sat close noticed the disturbance, they moved quickly to intervene. While monitoring his vitals, paramedics attempted to keep him warm and alert.
“May God bless everyone in our vicinity. She remarked, “There were so many nurses.”
“He was up and talking after what seemed like a lifetime. Cassini writes, “We got him to the car and waited for him to feel better.
Declan was found to have hypothermia due to the 52 degree ocean temperature.
Cassini remarked, “I had no idea that this could happen.” “I never thought about cold shock; you think about sunburns and dehydration and all the things that can happen in the water.”
Declan’s miraculous recovery has led Cassini to want to alert others to the risk of hypothermia in the summer.
“Just a heads up to parents who have children who adore the water and don’t feel chilly. It doesn’t necessarily follow that they can handle it just because they can.”
It never occurred to me that hypothermia could occur on a sweltering summer day! Not just for those who are parents, but for everyone, this is such a vital message.
A Heartwarming Story Highlighting the Impact of Small Acts of Kindness
Kindness has the power to change lives, even through the smallest of gestures. A touching story from a waitress at a fast-food restaurant demonstrates just how far a single act of goodwill can go.
One day, while working her shift, the waitress noticed that a customer had left behind a Louis Vuitton purse. Believing the owner would return for it, she placed it in the restaurant’s lost and found. However, days turned into weeks, and no one came back to claim it.
After a month, the restaurant manager noticed how much the waitress admired the purse and offered it to her. Curious but hesitant, she opened the bag, only to find it empty—except for one surprising detail. Inside was a handwritten note that read, “To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays.” Along with the note was a receipt, revealing the bag’s cost: $1,700—far beyond what the waitress could afford.
It became clear that the bag had been left intentionally, a deliberate act of kindness meant to brighten her day. The waitress began using the purse immediately, and it soon became a source of inspiration and confidence. She carried it to every job interview, feeling empowered by the thoughtful gesture
Today, even though she can afford such items herself, the Louis Vuitton purse remains a cherished reminder of that pivotal moment. It symbolizes the kindness that helped her through a challenging time and spurred her on to better opportunities.
This story beautifully illustrates how even a simple act of generosity can ripple through someone’s life, creating lasting change.
