Thank you to First Responders

Thank you First Responders

Lexi Stoff, a soon to be senior at North Shore High School in Glen Head (and aspiring engineer), organized the following

 

“In response to the pandemic First Responders have been putting their lives on the line to help those in need. Thank a first responder by writing a note of gratitude. Your submission will be distributed to First Responders at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Cleveland Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital, Cold Spring Harbor Fire Department, Locust Valley Fire Department, Carle Place Fire Department, Sea Cliff Fire Department, Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department, Sleepy Hollow Police Department, and 35+ more organizations.”

The Bayport Fire Department was lucky enough to have Lexi include us in this wonderful campaign. Below was the follow up email I received, along with thank you notes, which Lexi is still receiving. 

Dear Captain Jason Feinberg, I reached out to you on April 14 asking if I could send thank you letters to first responders for you to distribute and I was given this email to send them to. Attached below are 100+ thank you notes from members of my community and there are still more rolling in! Thank you so much for all you are doing!  -Lexi Stoff

And when you do see them again, you will have made it safer for them to go out and live their lives they way they would be right now if not for COVID-19. Never lose sight of the fact that you will be the reason why many people will be able to see their families and enjoy their lives once again; your impact on society will never be forgotten and you are making the world a better, safer place.

I hope that this letter brings you at least a smile in this hard time, I know that when I see you guys with a smile or laughing it makes it a little easier for me to get through this. As much as people are looking to mayors, and governors and the president for reassurance during this time, they are looking to first responders even more.

47) Hi. I am a student at North Shore Middle School and am in 7th grade. Recently I have been watching the news and have been learning about what is happening in our world today. It’s a lot of pressure for first responder therefore I would like to say thank you. Thank you for waking up every morning and risking your lives for those in need. Ever since I could remeber I’ve wanted to become a doctor as my future career. Learning about what is going on right now and how you guys are helping everyone pushes me even more to make that decision when I’m older. You guys have inspired me even more. It takes a lot of courage to do what you guys do everyday and the way that first responders are handling this situation amazes me.

Thank you for all the help that you are giving our world right now.

48) Thank you so much for your and your families’ lives on the line to help protect everyone else. Please know how many people deeply appreciate your help, and stay safe. This will all hopefully be over soon.

49) Thank you for all your hard work that was put in that ensures the safety and well beings of others that are affected by the pandemic. Words can not describe how thankful we are for the efforts you guys put in during these times and I wish you guys would stay safe and to help out more people who are in need.

50) Thank you to all first responders and people helping ones who are in need without you, nothing would be possible. we all hold you and your families in the highest regard. stay safe, you are in our prayers.

51) Dear First Responders during these tumultuous times, I would like to attempt to express to you the absolute and complete admiration and respect i have for your work, your service, and yourself. You are not only putting yourself at risk, but you are doing so for the purpose of helping those who can’t help themselves and those who desperately need it. This is something unprecedented in our nation’s history and despite the uncertainty in these times you have stepped up and proven to be courageous, selfless, and honorable. Not only will you receive much gratitude from all those afflicted from around the world, but the appreciation for your work will surely stand the test of time and without a doubt find it’s way into our history books one day. There are people who are on the doors of death and those who’ve never felt worse in their lives, but they can have solace and comfort inn knowing you’re there helping them survive and get through this in any way you can. No matter how big or small a job you have at any point, it is a job that the world can never thank you enough for. And i myself feel very lucky to be part of the same nation and perhaps even same community as people like you who strive to better our world. Continue to be amazing and noble, the world wouldn’t be the same without you.

52) My family is humbled and grateful to all healthcare workers during this difficult time. Your hard work and compassion does not go unnoticed. Because all of you, we will all be able live in a safer, healthier world. Thank you for your sacrifices! We appreciate you all.

53) Thank you for putting your lives at risk to save everyone else. Thank you for choosing to put other’s needs before your own. Thank you for being the ones who are on the front line everyday, seeing the horror that the world is going through. You are the best of all of us right now. You are the person who risk their lives, so that someone else doesn’t have to loose their mom, dad, sister, brother, grandma, or grandpa. Thank you for your service and thank you for being the ones on the front line. The world would be a much scarier place without you. Thank you!

54) Dear first responder, Thank you for all your hard work. We really appreciate it! Putting your life on the line to help those in need is very brave, and we are very thankful to have you. Have good year! We are so very grateful for everything you are doing to support your community members! You are heroes! God bless you all.

55) I’m really into superheroes. Capes, spandex and righteous justice, the whole package. But these shows, comic books and movies are always considered works of fantasy. They’re SUPERheroes for a reason, they embody heroics simply beyond the capabilities of mere mortals. I always thought that real life heroes either didn’t exist, or were so blown up by the media that they might as well be props for ratings. But you guys, you guys are redefining what I think is possible. While I may complain about being stuck in my house, you are out there fighting an omnipresent, invisible, and at times, seemingly invincible enemy. Your unbreakable heart, spirit and god damn bravery both humble and encourage me. So, don your gloves, masks and (metaphorical) capes, because you guys are real life superheroes, and the world could use some saving right about now. Thank you so much for you work during these hard times!! grateful for you today and everyday!:)

56) No amount of thanks is enough for you guys ❤ ❤

74) Dear First Responders, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your service. I, more than anyone, understand your sacrifices because my father is a first responder, paramedic for the Nassau County Police Dept. Over the past several weeks, I have seen how hard he has had to work, and the amount of hours, all taking time away from our family, plus the risk of being exposed to covid-19. And I know that many of you have had to separate from your own families. So, I just wanted to say thank you!

75) Thank you for what you do every day to keep us safe! Thank you for going the extra mile in these crazy and unpredictable times! And thank you for giving each and every one of us who sits home a sense of peace knowing that you are all out there, doing your best under these extreme circumstances you have had to work under.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and please know that I am praying for your continued health, strength and healing during these times.

82) THANK YOU!!!!

83) Thank you for putting your life at risk everyday. You will never truly understand how thankful every single person in this world is to have you guys in our lives. You guys are trying your hardest to save people that you don’t even know. You are risking your lives to save others. Your hard work may go unnoticed by many people, but you should always feel great about yourself and the difference you are making in your communities. Just remember to keep a smile and stay positive through these terrible times, because that is what is going to help you push through and get through these times.
