Local volunteer:
Helped at Ground Zero

Wendy Damm, R.N., vice president of Columbus Community Hospital, spoke to both junior and senior high school youth of St. Joseph Parish in East Bristol recently about her experiences as a Red Cross volunteer at New York's Ground Zero, the site of the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center.

Damm, a member of St. Joseph Parish, has a long history of service as a Red Cross volunteer. She has traveled to various sites in the U.S. where assistance was desperately needed for both victims and their families. Damm has also gone to Haiti seven times to bring medical aid to the extremely poor population of the island and plans to return again this year.

Damm flew into the Newark, N.J., airport in December of 2001 and was taken to the 911 Service Center on Manhattan Island. She provided aid to victims and their families for three weeks.

Many victims received assistance at Red Cross Service Centers. The Service Center where Damm worked was a Jesuit monastery. While in New York she helped to clear people for essential services and counseled those suffering from mental health problems.   Full Story ...
