Honoring and remembering Yamel Merino, 24, Metrocare | Emergency Medical Technician.

Yamel Merino had a soft, sweet voice and a gentle smile, yet she could be as strong as a bull. She had to lift heavy patients onto gurneys in her job as an emergency medical technician. She knew her job was dangerous. Every night, she prayed for God to protect her 8-year-old son, whom she was raising on her own.

Memorial reading for Yamel Merino is taken from her profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on September 18, 2001.
