A resident of Indian Rocks Beach, Fla., Mr. Thomas bravely used his surfboard to rescue nearly a dozen of his neighbors and their pets from rising waters during Hurricane Helene.
FDNY Deputy Chief George Healy was off-duty and had taken off his shoes and settled in for the 18-hour drive to his family vacation in Florida when, on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, he intervened in a fiery accident and saved a man’s life.
In times of crisis, the vital contributions of donors enable the American Red Cross to deliver hope and help. When Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast two weeks apart - devastating communities across 10 states - generous donors helped the Red Cross to deliver relief and comfort for hard-hit residents. As catastrophic wildfires devastated communities across California, crucial support from donors has enabled the Red Cross to provide necessities like food, shelter, emotional care, recovery planning and financial assistance. The Disaster Relief Hero award underscores the importance of collective efforts in bringing hope and healing to those in need.
