Firefighter-Stroke Survivor Fund

Donation protected

                             #Joesfight -  Joe's Journey
 Joe has dedicated his life to helping others while  proudly serving the Military, Federal Firefighter, and his community on the Fire Department for over 20 years, and as Chief of the Emergency Communication Center for over 3 years. 
     For those of you who know Joe, you know what a genuinely great guy he is. Joe is the first to help out anyone in need.
     I was only 49 when I suffered 2 devistating strokes, which resulted in severe injuries and disabilities.  
      After months of rehabilitation and working hard to return to work, Joe learned he will not be able to come back as a firefighter. Yes, Joe had been terminated. The fire service is losing a dedicated and pasionate public servant.
        
~~~  We are here because of his medical conditions:  and the resulting disabilities he suffering.
    Joe was fired  from his job, and to top it off, Chase Bank started foreclosure proceedings.    Joe is losing his house!
    
Joe is now be dealing with a loss of salary and other expenses due to his injuries.
     The goal of this campaign is to help Joe not have to worry about money as he goes through this difficult transition period. Joe gave selflessly serving the public in their time of need. Donating to this fundraiser is your chance to return the favor.
     Thanks for any donation you can give!
        We are only looking to raise enough money to cover Joe’s lost income,  provide the everyday living  necessities: food, medical, and to   save his longtime home,  or find a different housing solution.       
    ~~~  We are just trying to get his story out and raise stroke awareness.  ~~~

       At this time, Uncle Joe is still recovering.  We do know his road to recovery is going to be long, difficult and costly.          Unfortunately, this has put him through unsurmountable emotional turmoil and financial ruin...            
     Firefighters, by nature, are not ones to ask for help, and Uncle Joe fits this profile.      
     He has lived his life serving others. He was always there, no matter what.
    Uncle Joe still has a passion in his heart to help and serve others.
      
     This is where you come in!
     The truth is, there is a way people can help, and that is by way of monetary donations.
     Any donation would greatly help Joe during this tough time.

       Most of all, at the very leastplease SHARE this to spread the word.

     I am grateful for any help I receive. 
     People, friends, and acquaintances cannot help out, if they do not know the help is needed.  
       If this gets to enough people, who would, and could help, but feel that a dollar is not worthwhile, that single dollar will certainly add up and with ample people, you will make a positive outcome.  
     This is what we are wishing for.
      
     THANK YOU!
      Vicki Rose

        We will update everyone on Joe’s status and the   progress he has made. 
        All of the donations will be used to offset medical expenses, treatments, and housing.  
     
"Who is a firefighter?"

A firefighter a person who holds a compassion for their job, a love of their Department and a Brotherhood of over a million strong, extending worldwide, with other men and women alike.
They are people you can count on, any time day or night.
They are people who take pride in what they do… it’s all they know, that’s who they are.
They don’t consider themselves heroes... and are happy to protect and serve.
They are the electricians, carpenters, business professionals, plumbers, mechanics, shop owners, teachers, welders… they come from practically all
walks of life.
So the next time you see a firefighter…. Please stop and thank them for what they do.
Whether they are paid or volunteer they did not have to take this job....
