Zack is a graduating senior at Glenwood Springs High School in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Early in high school, Zack started pursuing his dream of becoming a Paramedic. He completed an internship with our local fire department, reaffirming his career goal. Unfortunately, Zack's world was rocked earlier this year when he was brutally assaulted in his own home, leaving him with severe injuries. After months of recovery, Zack will graduate with his classmates at the end of May. While many of his classmates received college scholarships, Zack missed the deadlines for applying while he recovered in the hospital. Meanwhile, his family became responsible for unexpected medical expenses. For this reason, we are asking our community to join us in supporting Zack as he presses on towards his goal of becoming a First Responder.

In the face of adversity, Zack has risen to the call and handled this traumatic event with inner strength and perseverance. Because of this, Zack gained an even deeper appreciation for the First Responders, who helped him both physically and mentally on the night of his assault. His passion for pursuing this career took on new meaning, and he is eager to pay it forward by helping others in similar situations.

So, join us in helping make Zack's dream a reality by donating to his educational pursuits! Donations will go towards his tuition as he pursues an EMT/Paramedic degree at Colorado Mountain College, starting this fall.
