Body Armor for My Younger Brother & classmates
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Stacy and I am raising funds for rifle plates for my younger brother. I chose the above picture, because I always see him as my little brother, no matter how grownup he is. Michael has started his second career (after being a minister for all his adult life) as a police officer. He will graduate the academy at the age of 51, in January. A huge accomplishment! The nonprofit that had been donating body armor in our location just let the police department know they will not be able to donate any longer. The 2024 budget is already set, so the new officers will not have this essential and lifesaving equipment, until 2025. In case you are like I was and don’t know what a rifle plate is, it is body armor that prevents rifle rounds from penetrating into your skin/body. It basically takes what would stop a bullet from a pistol and makes it to where you can take a direct shot from a rifle at 10m and walk away with just bruising. Please consider donating to my “little brother”. If we get more than $1000 we will use the money to provide rifle plates for other graduates in his class and/or donate it to the local police. Thank you for reading this. Please consider praying for my brother and his class.
