The FDNY supported 8-year-old leukemia survivor Joao Daniel de Barros at the annual Icla da Silva Foundation’s Hope Gala on Oct. 15, swearing him in as a Junior Firefighter.

The boy, who lives in Brazil, attended the event to meet his bone marrow donor. His family said he is a fan of the FDNY, so during the ceremony at Gustavino’s in Manhattan, firefighters surprised him. They swore him in (in Portuguese) as a Junior Firefighter.
