For years, many of us have relied on @SPOTNEWSonIG for timely and critical Chicago crime news. Since May 2012, he's been an invaluable resource on X (formerly Twitter), sharing live citywide scanner chatter and providing on-the-ground photos from crime scenes.

Now, @SPOTNEWSonIG needs our support. He's currently facing significant health issues that require ongoing care for the next 3-5 months. This fundraiser aims to help cover essential transportation and parking costs, allowing him to focus on his recovery without added financial stress. Let's show our appreciation for his dedication by helping him through this challenging time.
