Mayor Cecilia Patron publicly recognizes citizen heroism

The Mayor visited the hero, who highlighted his bravery and solidarity in helping those who needed it most. “Today, thanks to his actions, a mother and her child are alive, avoiding a tragedy, but above all, demonstrating with his example what it means to be a person from Merida with courage and worthy of recognition,” said Cecilia Patrón.

Don Willian told how he and his wife were driving on 63rd Street by 42nd after taking her for a consultation when they noticed from blocks behind how gasoline was spilling from a “Volchito,” suddenly the car stopped completely, and seconds later, the engine began to burn.

Our hero from Merida did not hesitate to get off his motorcycle to provide assistance, rescuing first the infant and then his young mother. Fortunately, they were able to get out in time and receive support to extinguish the car’s flames.

“The truth is that I did not do it out of pride, but because my values and principles have taught me that you have to help in the moment. And we were there to act,” said Don William.

“Today, thanks to you, a mother and her child are alive and can tell this story, to you and your wife, who as a family were attentive and managed to see everything that happened and helped without thinking twice, because that speaks of your concern for others because you care about your community,” said the mayor.
