"I was walking to put my stuff in the trash can, then I saw her and I just dropped my stuff and did it," said Molly Francisco.

"It's an honor; she had the opportunity to do something that a lot of people don't get to do, save a life. So it's a, it's good to know people still care about other people," said Darin Francisco, Molly's Father.

Molly had learned the technique through Girl Scouts just a few months earlier.  She now wants to be a nurse when she grows up.
