To the Editor:

 My husband and I were involved in a head-on collision on Saturday, Dec. 8 that was reported in Wareham Week. I would like to take the opportunity to thank every person that came to our aid that night. The 911 dispatchers both at the State Police and Wareham Police Department, the police officers, firemen, paramedics and ER staff at Tobey Hospital were all phenomenal in providing care with compassion. We felt safe and protected throughout our ordeal. 

As a community, we have a tendency to take the services these professional provide for granted. What I witnessed that night was a well-coordinated effort between all of these agencies to provide the help and support we desperately needed.

We cannot thank you enough for the help and care you provided with compassion and dignity.

I hope every person working to protect and serve this community is able to enjoy this holiday season.

God bless you all.

 Sincerely,

Jeanne and Paul Maloney
