<div>With a heavy heart, I share something I never thought I would face. After 18 long months of disputes, the NYPD has unlawfully terminated me over a false positive drug test. The test was conducted by Psychemedics—a lab already proven wrong in court after falsely accusing Boston police officers. Yet here I am, fighting the same battle, but this time against the NYPD.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My name is Frankie Palaguachi, and I never imagined life would take this turn. From day one, my union turned its back on me, and I was left to fight with only my attorney by my side. I quickly realized this fight isn’t just about me—it’s about every member, past, present, and future, who deserves protection and fairness.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve done everything to prove my innocence. I took multiple independent tests—two with the same lab the NYPD used, one with Omega Lab, a urine test, a toenail test, and even a polygraph. Every single one came back negative. Still, I was cast aside as if the truth didn’t matter. My promotion to Sgt was delayed, and I was demoted for speaking the truth, which I thought would favor me because I was helping others, but it was turned against me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This fight has cost me more than I could have ever imagined. I am a father to a beautiful son with autism, and he depends on me. Right now, <strong>I am asking for help—not just to continue the legal fight, but to keep my family standing during this storm.</strong>

</div>

</div>

<div>Your support will help cover:

</div>

<div>• Attorney fees to keep fighting for justice (Article 78)

</div>

<div>• Child care for my son

</div>

<div>• Temporary support for my family while I work to rebuild

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is not only my battle. It is about justice, fairness, and protecting families from going through what mine is enduring.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I will not stop fighting. I will not give up. But I cannot do this alone.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with me—for your support, your prayers, and your belief in justice. May God bless you always. If you cannot donate, I completely understand. Please share my story so it can reach the right people. Together, we can make a difference.
