Hi LT, I would like to give a big shout out to Lincoln resident, John (partnered with Rachel Marie Schachter I believe) and Lincoln transfer station attendant, Dan, for helping me at the transfer station, yesterday, Wednesday, July 24. When I opened the trunk of my SUV to get the recycling items, the paper bag that held my glass bottles and jars fell out onto the pavement, and several smashed and broke. One of the glass shards bounced up and cut my shin and created a flap of skin about the size of a silver dollar.
There was a lot of blood and broken glass. John went to his car and brought me a roll of paper towels for the bleeding. He went in search of an attendant and found Dan. Dan called 911 and asked for an ambulance to come to the transfer station, and he brought me a chair so that I could keep my leg elevated. John (and others, I believe) cleaned up all of the broken glass and waited with me until the ambulance came. I was pretty distraught and in need of help. John and Dan were so kind, calm, clear-headed and helpful. Thank you, John and Dan. The Lincoln fire department came in their ambulance and took me to Emerson Hospital where I eventually got 6 stitches in my shin. At this current moment in our country when there is so much anger and vitriol between different groups, I am very grateful for the kindness of these strangers yesterday. I am vowing to show kindness to others, now, as much as I can each day. Pass it on! Thank you, Cindy Bencal
