All of us at the Herald Community Newspapers were frightened by the coronavirus pandemic when it reached Nassau County last spring. Some were sickened by Covid-19, and some were even hospitalized. But we had a job to do. We were, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo called us, “essential workers,” relaying vital information people needed to know to stay healthy and survive this potentially deadly disease. S o we d i d what we knew how to do — reported the news, day in, day out, for weeks on end. Suddenly, we were no longer a weekly newspaper. We were a daily, publishing the news online at liherald.com and in our daily newsletter. Hundreds of thousands of people came to our website.

of how well they know him. U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, a friend for 25 years, described Jimenez as a “great public servant.” Now the Vietnam veteran, who served his country and continues to give to his community, needs help. Jimene z, 69, desperately needs a kidney. Doctors have told him that if he does not receive one, he will likely not
survive. Jimenez joined the Army when he graduated from high school in 1969. He served for two years, one as an infantryman in Vietnam, and eventually became a sergeant. Like so many other soldiers, he was exposed to Agent Orange, and by 1980 he had diabetes, which led to kidney failure CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
