'Goes Above And Beyond': Sonoma County Hero

SONOMA COUNTY, 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.

This submission comes from Tiffany Lopes of Santa Rosa, who nominated her fiancé, Carlos Tah:

Where the nominee lives:

Santa Rosa

Name of the nominee:

Carlos Tah

Is the nominee considered an "essential worker"?:

Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:

Assistant manager in training at the Rohnert Park Walmart

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

Carlos works hard every night making sure the shelves are stocked and ready for customers each and every day. There are days he goes into work at 8:30 p.m. and we do not see him until 1 or 2 p.m. the next day. He started as a cashier 7 years ago. After all the long hours and working 6 days a week, he finally made his dream of becoming an assistant manager a reality. Carlos makes friends with everyone and goes above and beyond for his family.

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

Carlos would give his own shirt off his back if he knew you needed it more than him.

Thank you for all you do, Carlos!
