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.
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 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.
