Bootie needs our help!

Hello my name is Aaron Deary and I am raising money to help one of Wolfe City's own.

Ray Lair also known by his family and friends as “Bootie” spent almost 30 years serving as a volunteer firefighter. Bootie has always been a faithful member to Wolfe City Volunteer Fire Department, even chasing the fire trucks to emergencies before actually becoming a member. Because of his recent decline in health Bootie stepped down as a “active member” of WCVFD but still continues to be an honorary member, which allows him to still be a part of the Department.

As many of you know, Bootie recently had triple bypass heart surgery. As anyone would expect he has not been able to work for the past 4 weeks and was told by his doctor today that it would be at least another month before he would be able to drive which will prevent him from being able to work. Bootie and his wife Tammie have always been the type of people that have had a job and work for everything they have.

Because of him not being able to work and his medical expenses, he and his wife have fallen behind on their monthly bills. It is never easy to ask for help when we need it, but Bootie never once in his almost 30 years of serving others gave a second thought to helping where he could. If you are able to help Bootie and his wife I know it would be greatly appreciated.
