When he was Needed, Alfredo Pimentel Acted Without Hesitation, Saving a Life
Last Friday, FC Tulsa was able to help honor a very special 17-year-old who saved the life of his co-worker while on the clock.
Alfredo Pimental, an East Central High School student, sprung into action when one of his McDonald’s team members collapsed and was rendered unresponsive for several minutes. As his co-worker was laying on the ground bleeding, Alfredo began chest compressions while 911 was called and Alfredo kept his co-worker stabilized until First Responders could arrive, saving his life.
As a way of honoring Alfredo and his actions, FC Tulsa partnered with McDonald’s to surprise Alfredo with a ceremony attended by local representatives from the Fire and EMS that initially responded to the situation.
Also in attendance were FC Tulsa’s Darío Suárez, Rodrigo da Costa, and Adrián Diz Pe to present a jersey signed by the club and a suite for Alfredo to catch a match with 20 of his friends and family members later in the season.
When asked about what advice he would give to someone that may find themselves in a similar situation, Alfredo responded, “Don’t be afraid to give someone CPR.”
