Paramedic On The Front Line Of The COVID-19 CRISIS: Gilroy Hero

GILROY, CA —When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

Where the nominee lives:

Gilroy

Where the person who nominated the hero lives:

Gilroy

Name of the nominee:

Jeremy Jaime

Name of the person who nominated the hero:

Jenna

Is the nominee considered an "essential worker"?:

Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:

Paramedic

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?:

He works nights in Santa Cruz County as a 9-1-1 paramedic. The nights are the busiest times of the day there and he is constantly moving and transporting patients that are at high risk of transferring anything to him. He comes home exhausted and tries to get some rest, but his little 2-year-old doesn’t like that and always wants to play. He deserves to be recognized for all he does.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:

He’ll always have a smile on his face no matter how tired or overworked he is.
