ACO Erick Velez Fire Relief

On Friday Dec  18, 2020 around 7pm my good friend Erick Velez came home from a shopping trip and found his home was on fire. His quick actions saved what was most important,  his Mom,  his partner  Lianexis, and his pet parrot Kwazii but everything else is sadly gone. 

Erick has been an Animal Control Officer serving  Hampden County for more than 15 years.  He helps people and their animals during their worst times offering kindness,  empathy, and resources.  While he protects those without a voice day in and day out,  he is also the guy we count on to always lend an ear or shoulder to his fellow colleagues,  friends, and family.  Erick never  looses his smile, goofiness, and infectious laugh which is why he is such a special person. Now the one who is always there to help others, needs our help.

Please consider making a donation (and sharing) to help Erick and Lianexis rebuild their home.
