Hardware Stores in Alexandria, KY

“I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart from a very panicked mom who was in the middle of a terrifying situation.

My toddler somehow managed to get a piece of string/fabric from her blanket wrapped around her finger so tightly that it started turning purple. All I could hear from the back seat was her screaming that her finger was stuck. I pulled over immediately and realized how serious it was. A tight string around a child’s finger can cut off circulation very quickly, causing intense pain and potentially serious injury if it isn’t removed right away. Seeing her finger change color was absolutely terrifying, and every second felt critical.

By pure luck, I had pulled over right in front of Harbor Freight. I ran inside in complete panic and asked for help, explaining what was happening and asking if there was anything I could buy to help get the string off. The men working there were incredibly calm, kind, and reassuring. They gave me a few options and talked me through what to do, helping me stay calm enough to safely remove the string and restore circulation to her finger.

As a mom who truly did not know what to do in that moment, the compassion, patience, and support I received meant everything. Their calmness helped steady me during one of the scariest moments I’ve had as a parent. I cannot express how grateful I am for their help, and I will never forget the kindness they showed us that day.”
