International Association of Fire Fighter Locals 2081 & 3172 bought and delivered the presents for youngsters from 3 months to 17 years old.
“Most if not all of these children do not have parents, or they have been taken away from their parents to keep them safe,” Lt. Justin Derevyanik told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.
“They wouldn’t have had anything this Christmas without those presents,” Robert Burgos, secretary of Local 2081 added. “The look on their faces was priceless.”
The non-profit YCS serves children with special needs, from birth to 25. It provides educational, psycho-therapeutic and psychiatric programs, as well as crisis intervention, foster care and home placements, along with residential and in-home services.
