Wang Yong: a Courier Volunteer
Wang Yong is a native courier of Wuhan born in the 1980s. Affected by the epidemic, many express delivery companies suspended their services during the Spring Festival. On the evening of January 24, Wang read a message posted on WeChat by a nurse at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan. Learning that due to traffic restrictions and the suspension of buses and subways, many medical workers could not go home after the night shift, Wang volunteered to take them to and from work.
On the first day, he offered help to more than a dozen medical staff of Jinyintan Hospital. But he felt one person's strength was still small, so he posted messages on WeChat looking for more volunteers to help solve the travel problems of medical workers. He also contacted a couple of restaurants and food producers and helped them deliver free box lunches to health care workers.
Wang has helped more than 1,000 medical workers with their commuting and dining problems. "I have no resources. I am grateful to other volunteers and businesses that have offered help. Everyone is working hard. I am just one of them," he said.
武汉快递小哥汪勇:组织志愿者接送医护人员
汪勇,一名生长于武汉的80后快递员。受新冠肺炎疫情影响,许多快递公司在春节期间暂停服务。2020年1月24日晚,在家照顾女儿的汪勇看到了一名武汉金银潭医院的护士发布在微信朋友圈的信息,得知由于车辆限行、公交车和地铁停运,很多医护人员下夜班后无法回家,遂决定义务接送医护人员上下班。第一天,汪勇服务了十几名武汉金银潭医院的医护人员后,感到一个人力量有限,于是开始在朋友圈发布消息招募志愿者,并建立医护服务群,共同解决医护人员出行问题。此外,他还联系了多家为医护人员免费提供盒饭的餐厅与企业。
疫情期间,在汪勇的帮助下,1000多名医护人员解决了出行和就餐问题。他说:“我是一个没有资源的人,一路走来,特别感谢参与的志愿者和企业的帮助。大家都在努力,我只是一个组织的人。”
