Tim McGinley and Chuck Cerino shovel snow at a discount for the elderly in Turnersville and stopped by to see if Barbara Greiner needed help with her walk.
"I rang the doorbell and usually she gets right to the door and she didn't answer the door. So I looked in her a window a little bit and I could see her feet, then I looked a little further and I could see her legs, and I noticed she was laying on the floor," McGinley said.
They feared the worst until they saw Barbara open her eyes. She was still alive, but immobilized after a bad fall.
"She fell off like a step going into her kitchen. She's been having hip problems," Cerino said.
Rushing through her garage, they pried her door open to get inside where they wrapped her with a blanket and poured her some ginger ale. She told them she was fine, but they insisted on getting her medical attention.
"We couldn't leave her like that. She was dehydrated, in bad shape, it looked like she was there a couple days," McGinley said.
She arrived to Kennedy Memorial Hospital by ambulance in stable condition where the two men visited her and shrugged off their part in her rescue.
"It's what any normal human being would do," McGinley said.
The lesson here is not just about what they did after they found her, but what the two did before that, looking for signs of her when she didn't answer. Who knows what would have happened if they hadn't.
