Dewey Atkocaitis by Sgt. Edward J. Karas

Dewey was injured during an EMS run, while caring for a Psych patient. Do to some unforseen circumstances Dewey is no longer being paid from his full time job. Dewey and his family have also recently lost their medical, vision, and dental benefits. With four small children at home, it's a struggle to make ends meet. Now is our chance to help out a fellow brother, as he has has helped so many others in the past.

We are currently working on a date, and time for a benefit. Please check back for updates.

Im truly humbled and can't even begin how to thank everyone, my pride has been the hardest thing to swallow and accept help from friends, I'm truly blessed to have brothers and sisters in my life that have made me feel im worth something, this whole event has hurt my soul, my heart, my passion and love of the job...... As i sit here with tears in my eyes Ive said a prayer for multiple things, they fix my wrist and thumb soon, ive thanked God for friends that have been amazing and for what everyone has done for me already...so thank you from myself, my wife and my 4 kids.....I Love You Guys! Thank You Eddie and Jill...and all my friends that have offered to help i'm overwhelmed by the acts of friendship, brother hood and caring....
