| Jenny | Gwendolyn Quintana | I'm super amazed at my daughter, Gwendolyn. She is a third year medical student who was in clinical rotations.

Working in partership with the Bexar County Medical Society, Gwendolyn has orchestrated donating over 100,000 N95 Masks to frontline medical responders!!!! Yes, 100,000! Plus additional PPE such as: hundreds of face shields donated by the Vietnamese community of SA, thousands of gloves, and gallons of hand sanitizer made possible with the help of Garrison Distillery.

We were a vital group essential workers that stepped up. some runners who balance 2 jobs still working extra hours and when we grocery shop for our senior citizens here in Texas we put our lives on the line in order to make sure they had all the necessities that they need during these scary times.

No only for him but for all the essential workers and the people that lost their battle to this ugly illness. Thank you in advance for taking the time to reas this . |
| Tony | Animal Control | Not many people know that some animal control departments can actually be considered first responders. Responding to animal attacks, animal cruelty or even just an animal or family pet in need. They deserve a lot more than getting told off all the time.

| Tony | Jones Maltsberger Road Chipotle staff | The place was spotless. And despite there being no one in the restaurant, they were super-positive and excellent in every way. There was even a young lady in the dining room using a DeWalt cordless drill with a wire brush bit scrubbing the table mountings where they are attached to the floor. As a Marine and a guy working for the Army, I can tell you this place would have passed a General Inspection. Very impressive. And lets face it, the chicken bowl rules! |

These brave, hardworking people are on the front lines, for a modest batch pay per shop that they complete and deliver.

Many of these people do this just for the satisfaction of knowing they can help during this time - but tips are greatly appreciated! |

Having them practice social distancing at work and to continue practicing when going to their deliveries. All the drivers work very hard to deliver not just the sodas but the bottle waters and hydrating drinks that customers are needing. I just wanted to thank Jose for caring for all his drivers and co-workers at the plant. All these essential workers are doing their best to serve customers and they take that risk that they may get infected and trying not to infect the families at home waiting for them to return. God bless them all. |
| FERNANDO | All IT workers. | All IT workers are forgotten except when something goes wrong. In these days they are keeping people sane as well as essential services running. Maintaining the social media, work from home infrastructure, making sure news can be delivered, etc. is often forgotten. I am not nominating myself. I am simply recognizing the industry. I work for GreatCall/Best Buy Health that sells health and safety devices. I come to work so others can perform their jobs. Virtually everything (pun intended) |

She has had to be quarantined while off the clock because of risk of infection which is tough because she had a new nephew born on 3/6 and can’t spend time with him or the rest of the family other than FaceTime meals and walks with her trailing a good distance behind. Also since this started she has adopted an abandoned 7 year old German Shepard and taken it into her home as a new owner. Adding to her list of community support she has been arranging delivery meals for the whole ICU staff from multiple local businesses to help restaurants maintain as best they can. She is a certain hero for our community. I’d love to sharE photos and more and seriously hope y’all select her for hero of the day! |
| Barbara | Esteban Tijerina | If it weren't for Tiremen working non stop in rain, sleet, snow, or whatever the weather may be to keep our wheels moving; no-one would be anywhere. No groceries would be delivered, no doctors or nurses would be at work to save lives and etc. Tiremen are very important to our economy and they do not get enough credit. They have dangerous jobs. Changing tires on the side of freeways when people don't obey traffic laws can be very dangerous and life threatening. We owe Tiremen our appreciation. |

No...they are not first responders or medical personnel, but their sole purpose is service to those people and the entire community. What they do, should ot go unnoticed in these perilous times. |
| SSG Donna | CHCS OATS department | The entire OATS nursing and doctor staff is not only working tirelessly to keep our clients safe, but the staff as well! Crissy, Michell, Dr. Tennison, and Dr. Nagaviani. Amazing, dedicated, hard working, compassionate, and phenomenal people! |

They are directly in harm’s way, and always silently serve and do their part. Please don’t forget to recognize this hardworking group of essential personnel! |

| Leroy | Larissa Martinez | I’m extremely proud of my wife who’s the founder of a 501c3 nonprofit called Circle of Arms. Less then a year old with no steady funding but from the beginning of March has stepped up and filled gaps in the community by delivering essential food and hygiene items to the elderly, veterans, disabled and families with small children who have limited transportation and can’t make it to the food bank and other donation sites. She delivers all over town no matter zip code. She even delivered furniture to an elderly woman who had nothing to sleep or sit on in her apartment. She’s delivered all the way to a Pleasanton nursing home to take wish list items and encouragement cards to residents to Canyon Lake to provide essential hygiene items to Foster Youth Center. She’s soon to deplete the little funds she has raised for her organization so she started virtual bingo to have fun and be a distractor with all the CVD-19 stressors asking does donations and giving a percentage as a prize for the winner. She’s also doing peer to peer support for no charge for those who’re having increased anxiety about CVD-19! She’s awesome and I want the world to know that she’s not a big company or even a large nonprofit but she’s making a big impact! |
