Volunteers are raising their voices to call attention to the dire conditions of migrants at the US-Mexico border. Theresa Cheng is one such volunteer attending to border medical emergencies.
During an interview with a media outlet, Cheng painted an emotional picture of the daily trends in the migrant camps. She explained that some asylum seekers called her attention to a bleeding 13-year-old boy. She rushed to the scene and tried to perform CPR to keep the boy’s heart pumping. Along the line, another volunteer called 911.
To give perspective to how long it takes an ambulance to arrive, Cheng tired out while performing the CPR. Another migrant had to assist during the roughly 60-minute wait. By the time the emergency medical services eventually arrived at the camp, the boy had stopped breathing.
Naturally, Cheng, other volunteers, and the migrants who witnessed the incident were washed with emotions. Most likely, the boy, whose name is Dario Zamudio, would have survived if the ambulance had arrived earlier.
