Bella was seventeen and caring for her mum when newly learned first aid skills helped her save her mum's life.
This story
Bella stepped in as a young carer for her mum, who has a seizure disorder, while also helping look after her two younger brothers and studying at college. A local young carers service provided support with essentials and arranged a first aid course for her. Weeks later, when her mum collapsed and stopped breathing on the way to an event, Bella performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
