Robert Knowles served as a sonar technician aboard the now decommissioned USS Omaha SSN 692 fast attack submarine in the early '90s. His roots in Omaha, Nebraska made him a proud representative of the boat, and he was even honored with the key to the city. Today, Robert and his wife Emily, along with their four children, are facing a difficult challenge that no family should have to endure—especially during the harsh Cincinnati winter.

Recently, the Knowles family's furnace failed, leaving them without reliable heat in freezing temperatures. Unable to afford the high cost of a replacement, they have been relying on space heaters to keep warm. Unfortunately, these heaters are inefficient and not enough to protect the family from the cold. The situation has become urgent, and the Knowles family needs help to restore warmth and safety to their home.

Any donation you can make will go directly toward helping Robert, Emily, and their children replace their furnace and stay warm this winter. Your support will make a real difference for a family who has given so much to their community and country. Please consider helping the Knowles family regain comfort and security in their home.
