With permission granted and the company supplying fuel, Nick and team spent their time tirelessly volunteering to help neighbors and Pinellas community members in need. Accompanied by two medically trained volunteers – EMT and Marine Haley Crippen, and Army Veteran Trisha Perez – Nick ran multiple rescue missions, providing much-needed aid to residents trapped by floodwaters.<\/p>\n
Among the many people Nick and his team assisted was Joe Mestas, who was in urgent need of heart medication before an upcoming surgery. Joe had left Barrier Island to check on his sister\u2019s dog, Taffy, and found himself unable to return home due to impassable roads. Nick\u2019s quick action ensured that Joe received his medication, allowing him to proceed with his surgery.<\/p>\n
In addition to delivering essential supplies like food, water, and fuel, Nick and his team performed wellness checks on dozens of stranded residents. They responded to distress signals from an online resource called \u201cNeed Rescue Pinellas,\u201d which listed individuals who were trapped, some on their roofs. On one of the missions, Nick and team transported a stranded individual to the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I heard about the storm\u2019s impact, I knew I had to do something,\u201d said Nick. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t a part of my job description, but these were my neighbors, my community, and they needed help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s dedication didn\u2019t go unnoticed, though he has remained humble about his efforts. \u201cNick came to me with the idea; it wasn\u2019t something we asked of him. He wanted to help, and we were more than happy to support him,\u201d said Bob Davis, founder of Pure Polymer Solutions. \u201cBut if you ask Nick, he\u2019ll say he didn\u2019t do anything special.\u201d<\/p>\n
PPS CEO Mitchell Stocki commended Nick and the team, stating, “It’s actions like these that make our Greater Tampa Bay community great. We\u2019re proud of Nick and the selflessness he displayed, even though he seeks no recognition.”<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s selfless efforts, alongside Haley Crippen and Trisha Perez, are a testament to the spirit of the Tampa Bay community and the company values of Pure Polymer Solutions. The team worked around the clock, saving lives, delivering supplies, and offering hope to those in desperate need.<\/p>\n
Pure Polymer Solutions is honored to have employees like Nick who embody the company’s commitment to community, integrity, and service.<\/p>\n
