A 7-year-old Evansville girl is being hailed as a lifesaver.
Hope Franks called 9-1-1 when her mother collapsed face down at their home Sunday.
The little girl says she tried to call her cousins but got no answer.
She then called 9-1-1 listening to the operator as she instructed her to turn her mothers head and wait for help.
Her mother, Alisha Franks, who woke up once the paramedics got there, says shes proud of her daughter.
And 7 year old hope says she is proud of herself too.
She says everyone her telling her what a good job and good thing she had done.
Alisha Franks says her collapse was due to a drop in blood pressure.
She was taken to St.Marys hospital for treatment before being released the same day.
