My husband, Aaron, has always put other people before him. He always makes himself available to help family, friends and those in need. He has been a first responder in many car accidents and has stabilized people in critical need until paramedics arrive. During this pandemic, he has offered physical labor and trips to go to grocery store for his community. He is unaware I am submitting this entry. He would probably ask me not to do it as he is so humble and never expects anything in return. I want to do something for him because I feel he is very deserving of this! Thank you.

Ashley is my wonderful sister-in-law. She is a mother, RN, friend and wife. She is also 7 months pregnant and continues stay positive despite such uncertain times. She is a labor and delivery nurse at the local hospital. If they are slow, she can be pulled to any department. She comes home and takes care of her adorable, busy 1 y/o on her days off. She is running on little sleep, lots of hormones and lots of love and compassion for her family and community. I am nominating her because we all need a gentle pat on the back and acknowledgement of our efforts.

Henry is a true hero. He serves the community as a community organizer with a simple intention of bringing people together. In response to COVID19 he is on the front lines serving the International District Chinatown community by providing over 900 bags of fresh produce & groceries to the elderly and low-income families in the neighborhood. Not only has his actions keep the community fed, but he has also brought city departments, neighborhood organizations, and community volunteers tighter together in expressing what the community should be like - a community that cares for one another.
Henry has gained a lot of local attention for his efforts, but hasn't been rewarded in anyway to reflect his efforts. This would be a nice token of appreciation for him.
