Basking Ridge Hero Is 'Dedicated To The Human Race'

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — 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 Don Szymanski of Basking Ridge, who nominated his daughter Alaina Nemes of Basking Ridge:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Registered Nurse

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Being a single mom and going to take care of hospice patients daily. Sometimes gets home and receives a call later that a patient needs her and she goes. I don't know how she does it sometimes.

She is not only an amazing daughter who has undergone tremendous adversity in her life. She is an amazing Mom an Registered Nurse. God Bless her for her dedication to the human race.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
How dedicated she is to her daughter and her patients. If you ever need a nurse you would want it to be her.

Thank you for all you do, Alaina!
