Bay Ridge residents are coming together to support the family of Yazan Alsaras, a beloved mail carrier who passed away unexpectedly earlier this month at the age of 39. Known for his unwavering work ethic and deep commitment to his community, Alsaras left behind a wife and a young child facing a daunting loss.

Neighbors and community members remember Alsaras as much more than a postal worker. According to an online fundraising campaign set up in his honor, he was “a friend, a compassionate neighbor, and a bright presence in the lives of his customers.” He formed lasting connections with everyone he encountered, from customers to coworkers, the fundraiser says, infusing warmth and kindness into his daily interactions.

Myrna Torres, a resident who has spearheaded efforts to raise awareness about Alsaras’ impact, shared her heartfelt memories on social media.
