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.
