Meals on Wheels volunteer saves man who was trapped for 3 days

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) – The Meals on Wheels program is not just about food, it’s also a way to check in on seniors.
A recent visit by the program in Sacramento, California may have potentially saved a life.
Patricia Escobar, a volunteer with Meals for Wheels, said she found a man trapped in his collapsed bed on her visit.
“I go inside, and right away, I got a bad feeling, and I ended up finding him on the ground and distressed and confused and called 911,” she said.

At the time, Escobar said she had no idea how long the man had been trapped. She later learned it had been for three days.
“I don’t know if it was him trying to get back up and then collapsed again,” she said.
Escobar was stopping by for her weekly delivery.
“And we love our participants, you know, that’s our main thing is to feed them, to socialize with them, to love on their animals,” she said.
