Earlier this month we received word that our friend and founder of "Start Em Early" Foundation Erik, had a very bad accident and suffered full thickness/3rd degree burns to both legs and hands. To help him and his family while he heals, we "Filled the Fridge" and shelves with a good amount of food via Amazon Smile and will be paying their utilities for September.

We are also currently assisting another Emergency Medical Technicians from SI New York. She was injured when her ambulance was hit and turned over by a driver running a red light. We are assisting her and her family with enough groceries and household items to keep them good until she can return to work in April.

In February we received a request to check on a NYC Emergency Medical Technician that was injured in the line of duty last year and is having a hard time.

March 10, 2023

In February we received a request to check on a NYC Emergency Medical Technician that was injured in the line of duty last year and is having a hard time. This EMT was shot by a patient in the back of his ambulance while attempting to transport him to the hospital. Eight months later and the EMT is still having neurological issues with his arm, shoulder and suffering from PTSD. He is now having issues with workers comp as they are looking to decrease his payments. The EMT is also taking care of his mother who is fighting through her own medical issues. We were able to pay $550 towards their utilities to make sure they had no disruptions through the NYC winter.

In January we received information that an Emergency Medical Technician from North Carolina was in need of our assistance

In January we received information that an Emergency Medical Technician from North Carolina was in need of our assistance. He has been out of work for the past couple of months due to severe side effects from COVID. He is currently in the rears with utilities and upcoming rent pending with no relief in sight. We were able to assist him with paying his January 2023 rent and continue emotional support as he continues to heal and navigate through workers comp and disability insurance.

The Primum non Nocere Foundation has been so wonderful to my family and me

Hi Louis, Thank you so much for everything around the holidays. Here is the thank you note for the website if you would like to post it. It really meant a lot to me and my family. The Primum non Nocere Foundation has been so wonderful to my family and me. They knew we were in need around the holiday season and immediately asked to help in any way they could. They kindly blessed us with food to get us through the holiday season. I am lucky to be a member of this community. They are doing wonderful work and I want to make sure their good work gets the recognition it deserves! Thanks for everything. KS and family
