Sisters Deliver Water To Healthcare Workers: EI Local Heroes

EAST ISLIP, NY — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

East Islip resident Molly Hays nominated her daughters, Lilly and Alysa Jette. The students have been working to help others during the coronavirus pandemic.

Here's what the proud mom had to say about her daughters:

The girls have fund raised to deliver water to both Good Samaritan and Southside Hospitals for the healthcare workers. They are on their 7th week delivering water twice a week to the OR, ER, ICU and other critical departments. These are students and sisters who wanted to do something to help with the COVID crisis. They plan to continue raising money and delivering water throughout the summer.

Thanks for all that you do Lilly and Alysa Jette!
