Retired NYPD Detective Raymond Ramos and FDNY firefighter William West are delivering supplies to Flint, Michigan.
The two men raised $12,000 through social media and fundraisers. Ramos called contacts in Flint and identified the most vital items needed — water, hand sanitizer and wet wipes.
“We decided we should go over there and help those people. It’s a real neighborhood thing, a real hand-to-hand thing,”West was quoted by the NY Daily News reporter Joseph Stepansky.
