Support the 17 Harvey Firefighters Laid Off Amid City Cuts

My name is Jonathan Calvert, and I am a Harvey Union member personally organizing this fundraiser to help our laid-off brothers.

We are asking for your help to support the 17 dedicated firefighters from the Harvey Fire Department who were recently laid off. These men have spent years serving and protecting the residents of Harvey — responding to emergencies, saving lives, and putting their own safety on the line for others

Unfortunately, due to the city’s ongoing financial crisis, drastic cuts were made to the fire department, leaving these firefighters suddenly without work. Many of them have young children at home, and some have wives who are expecting.

Harvey Firemen’s Local 471 is asking for any contribution you can make to help these firefighters and their families through this difficult time. Every donation — no matter the size — will go directly toward supporting them as they navigate this unexpected hardship.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign to help our brothers in their time of need. These funds will go directly in the union's account to be disbursed to the laid-off members.

The funds raised will be used to support the firefighters who are no longer receiving pay and benefits.

In solidarity,

Harvey Firemen’s Local 471
