I am Sal Ibarra, Vice President of IAFF Local 5382, a colleague and friend of Mike, President of IAFF Local 5382, at the Fillmore Fire Department. Over the past few years, Mike’s wife, Connie, has faced significant health challenges due to kidney failure. On April 8th, she underwent a successful kidney transplant, marking a pivotal moment in her journey.

As Connie embarks on her recovery, the financial demands are substantial. Expenses encompass 5 years of dialysis, frequent doctor visits, surgery-related costs, and ongoing post-transplant care. A fundraising campaign has been established to support Connie and Mike during this critical time. Donations will assist with medical bills, daily living expenses, and essential caregiving support.

Whether financially or through sharing this message, your support will make a meaningful difference in Connie’s recovery process.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Sincerely,

Sal Ibarra

Vice President

IAFF Local 5382
