Bayville McDonalds helps Local First Aid Squad

Captain Jordan, President Sperber, Jack Scari (Owner McDonald) Bobby Santiago and Nick Matino (Managers)

SCENE: A young patient hurt himself and his parent’s call 911 for help. The patient is crying and scared as the Bayville Volunteer First Aid Emergency Medical Technicians and First Responders appear and attempt to calm the child as they perform emergency medical treatment, move the child to the ambulance and take the child to the hospital. To help ease the patient a small stuff toy would be provided. However, since the stuff toys could pass infection from patient to patient, the squad stopped the practice and is seeking a new method to help these young patients to overcome their fears.

Thanks to Jack Scari owner of the Bayville McDonalds the young children will be handed a small McDonald toy which will replace the stuffed animal. Captain Cody Jordan and Squad President Pat Sperber accepted the toys on behave of the squad. The toys are placed in the squad’s ambulances to be distributed either to youths accompanying a parent in need a trip to the hospital or to be given to an injured child. The toy will provide that little bit of comfort for a child in the midst of a frightening experience. Our squad is a volunteer squad does not charge our patients or their insurance companies for any emergency medical service to include transportation that we provide. Last year, we had over 1,000 emergency medical calls that we provide assistance to the patients in Bayville, Pine Beach, Ocean Gate, Forked River and Lacey Townships. The toys (10 per ambulance) that Bayville McDonald donated will be provided to our younger patients to help them through a period of hardship as we provide medical treatment and transportation to the local hospitals.
