Seymour Ambulance, ARMS seek financial support for seriously injured EMT
Shared from the Seymour Ambulance Association Facebook page:
Joshua Henriquez, a Lieutenant and EMT with Seymour EMS and an EMT with Ansonia Rescue and Medical Services, Naugatuck EMS, and member of the Seymour Fire Department. was struck by a vehicle while running training for his first marathon.
Joshua sustained some serious injuries and has been hospitalized since. He has multiple fractures, lacerations, and road rash throughout his body.
Josh is hoping to be discharged today [Friday] but has a very long road of recovery ahead of him.
Joshua needs our support just like he has supported his community! We have set up a Venmo account that will go directly to him. We hope raise enough money so that Josh does not need to worry about anything as he recovers. It goes without saying, Josh will be out of work for several months.
Please take this message and share, share, share!!!!!!
Continue to pray for Josh and his family as he recovers.
