Carbon Monoxide Kills: Save a Life
Donation protected
On Monday November 23, 2015 we lost two beloved family members to Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Carl Persson (86) and Joey Pendrak (51) were enjoying a quiet night at home not knowing that a silent killer was among them. The car was accidentally left running in the attached garage and the Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas permeated the house without detection. CO is a colorless, odorless gas that cannot be detected without the use of a Carbon Monoxide detector. Their house didn't have one.
Grampa Gumper (Carl) was a loving person with a big heart. His family meant the world to him. His grandchildren and great grandchildren have lost a very special person. Cousin Joey was a fun-loving, young-at-heart person who loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them. This tragedy didn't have to happen. It has opened our eyes to how fragile life is and how senseless these deaths were. It could have been prevented with a simple CO detector.
Carbon Monoxide detectors can be plugged right into an outlet or can be battery operated. When CO is detected, an alarm will sound warning to vacate. We would like this to be the last time this happens to a family. This GoFundMe will help purchase CO detectors for the elderly and anyone else who needs one in the towns of Rye Brook and Port Chester. The winter months are the time when more people die or are sickened by Carbon Monoxide. We would like to be able to purchase these detectors by the new year for those in need.
In this time of Thanksgiving, we are thankful for the love and time we were able to spend with these two special people. They will be terribly missed by all who knew them. Please consider donating and perhaps saving a life and keep their memory alive.
