EDINA, Minn. – Family members, co-workers, and law enforcement authorities are calling a 15-year-old worker at a McDonald’s restaurant in Edina a hero.
Sydney Raley was working her Saturday shift at the drive-thru window when she noticed a customer coughing. The teen had taken first-aid training so she jumped through the window, got the distressed woman out of her car, and told her daughter to call 9-1-1.
When the Heimlich maneuver didn’t work, Raley got a bystander to help because he was stronger. A chicken nugget was quickly dislodged and the woman was able to breathe. Tom and Stephanie Raley call their daughter “Sydney Sunshine” and they say they are proud of her.
Two police officers gave her 100 dollars from a holiday fund for her quick actions.
