#62 - Anti-Asian Assault Survivor, Noel Quintana

Shoes Off Inside with MKT

On February 3, 2021 Filipino American Noel Quintana was on the subway in New York. He was minding his own business when suddenly he was attacked by a total stranger wielding a box cutter. Noel suffered a horrific slash across his face that required more than 100 stitches. But strangely, unlike other victims of anti-Asian hate crimes, Noel hasn’t received as much support even though he will need further medical and psychological care. Add to that a new challenge…he is required to go back to work, but his fear and anxiety is preventing him from taking the subway again. Noel has tried to take Uber or Lyft, but a round trip fare is $100. There is, however, hope because of two Good Samaritans who were strangers to Noel and to each other when they stepped up to help. This is a story of the how utter darkness can be overcome by love and compassion. This episode will, undoubtedly, shock, surprise and inspire you.
