Summary
A teen from Pflugerville is saving lives—one AED and one CPR lesson at a time. Calah Williams, 17, started The Calah Cares Project after witnessing a pastor collapse without lifesaving equipment. Her “Hearts Ready” program brings AEDs and training to underserved Austin communities, sparking massive community turnout and official city support. With a June 14 rollout at St. Stephen’s Northstar Missionary Baptist Church and a powerful message that anyone can help, Calah proves youth-led action can change lives—and save them.
