STORY TIME!!🚨 THIS ONE IS PERSONAL TO ME. 🚨 Viewer discretion advised.
In honor of National First Responders Day, Wednesday, October 28, I want to give back to some very special people.
During some of the darkest moments of my life, while I was battling active addiction, first responders were there for me. Some of them may never realize the impact they had on my life, but I haven’t forgotten.
Today, I’m blessed to be in a much different place in life, and this is my opportunity to say THANK YOU.

I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to watch this video. I wanted to share a little of my story and explain why recognizing our first responders means so much to me.
To every first responder who has ever answered a call, helped someone through their darkest moments, or simply showed compassion when it was needed most — THANK YOU.
You may not remember every life you’ve touched, but some of us will never forget you.
Please help me spread the word by sharing this post so we can reach as many first responders as possible!
With love and gratitude,
Marcos
