EMT Raphael Andújar Filion began his civil service career at 16 years old in the Dominican Republic, responding to emergencies for over 12 years before moving to the United States. "When I came here in 2018, I didn't know how to say hello in English, and I wanted to enroll myself in an English class. I enrolled in two English classes, one in the morning and one in afternoon," EMT Filion said. Filion's desire to serve the people of New York City was significantly influenced by the events of 9/11, motivating him to come to the United States. "For me, that day changed my life. I didn't do this job for the money. I needed money to pay my bills, but I do this job from the heart because I love the job." We're proud to highlight and celebrate EMT Filion's story for Hispanic Heritage Month!
