BOBBY BANOME: My name is Bobby Banome. I'm an 8 year FDNY [Fire Department of New York] firefighter veteran. I'm president of a charity called Humble Heroes of FDNY.* It's comprised all of volunteers, we dress up as superheroes and we visit pediatric burn centers and cancer centers around the country to lift the spirits of sick kids.
I'm the most recent winner of the Patrick J. Murphy Award, an award that goes to the top firefighter or police officer that's done the most for the community on and off the clock.
I'm currently on leave without pay for eight months. I have fallen uncomfortably into debt, despite receiving financial aid from friends and family. I'm engaged, but we've canceled our wedding plans until we can get back on our feet financially. And given the new CDC Guidelines, I just want to get back to work. I just ask that we get put back to work.
Thank you for your time and consideration with this matter. It's greatly appreciated.
