While on an EMS call the Maplewood crew noticed the citizen they had been called to help had been sleeping on a cot for the past year, the group reported on their Facebook page.
On Nov. 20 morning off duty members delivered a new bed and bedding for the woman. Maplewood Bedding donated the bed.
This is my dearest friend, whose twin sister died earlier this year. My twin sister died 18 years ago, so we understand each other’s loss. If anyone would like to send my friend a Christmas card, I think it would mean a great deal to her. The two firemen’s kindness was extraordinary, and this gift of kindness was even greater than the bed. You have with your one single action reduced me to tears of gratitude for helping my friend, and renewed my faith in and hope for us all.
Love it!
We here in Maplewood have the BEST fire department people ever – always there and going beyond the scope of their job to help those they serve Thanks.
