WOODBRIDGE, NJ — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times.

Here at Patch, we partnered with Ring to find local heroes.

This submission comes from Luis Ayala, who nominated his friend and fellow EMT, Martin Vavrak of Woodbridge.
