@SenatorCooney My condolences🙏

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of a dear friend and dedicated President of the Brighton Volunteer Ambulance, Dennis Mietz. Dennis spent decades serving the community and we are forever grateful for his impact on Brighton and beyond. Sending healing thoughts to friends, family, and members of the BCA.

During this heat emergency DSS is redoubling canvassing efforts with hundreds of outreach workers and volunteers who are connecting homeless New Yorkers to cooling resources, shelter beds, and drop-in centers. If you see someone in need, call 311. Stay safe! #NYCDSSCares @jccany

Teachers at P.S. 345 said hydroponic labs have made students more engaged, curious, and motivated to learn about the climate and sustainability. We're so grateful to @SenatorPersaud for helping these young New Yorkers, and those at IS68, explore careers in environmental science!

On Saturday, May 2, we buried my 13yr old relative Aniela Althea, who died from #BrainCancer. She was diagnosed at age 11. NY should not deny #Biomarker testing. It can save lives. @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastieNY #Cancer #BiomarkerTesting

Happy birthday to my daughter, Liz! “Your children are not your children. They come through you, but they do not belong to you.” — Khalil Gibran My daughter Liz reminds me of this every day through her personal and professional accomplishments—serving as an amazing occupational therapist, who helps students facing challenges and who need it most. She is a wonderful mother. I have learned so much about parenting from her. She sets her standards and goals high—and meets every one of them. And Liz, I so often remember you saying as a little girl, “I will only be called Elizabeth!” Well… I won’t mention that now. 🤣 Happy birthday, Liz. I love you.
