<p>Desperate times call for desperate measures! A stranded 14-year-old girl named Tyler Frank was severely sick as the floodwaters of Hurricane Harvey hit hard. Alongside her family, she cleverly thought to use technology for help when 911 and social media weren't cutting it&hellip;and it worked!</p>
<p>During the hurricane, Tyler woke up to really bad flooding in her home. She and her family were able to escape, but the teen was facing another crisis: a bad sickle cell flare up. With emergency responders and social media already flooded with requests, the family quickly found that they were able to get the help they needed. However, Tyler thought of another option: Siri! “I was like, ‘Siri’s smart enough! Let me ask her!'” Tyler said in an interview. She <a href="http://thegrio.com/2017/09/05/siri-saves-sick-girl-from-harvey-floodwaters/" target="_blank">reached out</a> to Apple’s popular assistant: “Siri, call the Coast Guard.” </p>

<p>A Coast Guard helicopter finally arrived, and the rescuer asked if anyone was sick. Of course, Tyler’s mom Tameko quickly alerted him about her daughter. With her sickle cell, she was beginning to lose oxygen to different parts of her body, and Tameko even said her face and lips were turning blue. But the rescuer claimed to only be taking elderly people, and got back in the helicopter and actually flew away! A person clearly suffering and could have possibly died, and she gets left behind SMH. Someone could understand not taking the entire family maybe, but this girl really could’ve died out there!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Though she felt abandoned, Tyler tried again, and another Coast Guard helicopter came the next morning and got the entire family to safety. Tameko captured the moment on Facebook Live:&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tyler was quickly flown to the hospital, and is, thankfully, doing okay. However, she and her family, like so many affected by both Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, have a long road to recovery ahead of them. They, unfortunately, lost everything and are all staying in one hotel room, with no clothes except for items that have been donated. The family is alive and well, and that’s what matters most. However, they could use your help! You can donate to Tameko’s <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/4dpi05k" target="_blank">GoFundMe page</a>, as she and her kids attempt to rebuild their lives.</p>
<p>Thoughts and prayers continue to go out to all of those affected by these disasters! </p>
