Joey White, 64, underwent several surgeries to treat his severe fourth-degree frostbite, but doctors couldn’t save his fingers, kin said.
“He was so frozen,” Sha’Kyra Aughtry, the good Samaritan who found White on her doorstep and brought him inside,Surgeons were eventually forced to remove nearly all of Joey’s fingers, including his knuckles. He has one thumb remaining, his sister said.
Joey has the mental capacity of a 10-year-old and lives in a group home several blocks away from Aughtry’s house, his sister said.Facebook/Danielle Riley That morning, he apparently got scared during the record-breaking winter storm, which was ravaging Western New York and eventuallyHe walked to a nearby movie theater, where he has worked as custodian for 40 years, but got caught in the cold when he was headed home. It’s unclear how long he was stuck outside before he ended up on Sha’Kyra’s doorstep.In the middle of the treacherous winter storm, Sha’Kyra heard banging and cries for help outside and told her boyfriend to open the door.
The situation moved her to tears, as it was eerily reminiscent of when her brother, Darryal Aughtry, 30, crawled to Sha’Kyra’s doorstep “She was like, ‘You know, that’s like the equivalent to our brother passing away’ — she can’t have that happen again,’’ Angela, 32, said of Sha’Kyra’s interaction with White.
“[Sha’Kyra] said everything got replayed. … How she heard [White] crying outside the door and she couldn’t leave him out there because the same thing happened to our brother.
