Alison Riley and Lindsey Rimassa are friends and wives of FDNY firefighters.
The mission of their project is basically to say thank you.
The concept is to have your kids send thank you, post inspirational messages, donate to programs like "Open Your Purse for a Nurse" and more.
It's all to help spread gratitude for our essential heroes during this pandemic.
Thank you to Alison and Lindsey, we salute you this First Responder Friday!
