Sometimes life brings us situations that seem to take total control over our lives. Our brother in blue is in one of those situations and has been for over the past year. Due to the rising cost of medical insurance among other things, I have created this account in an effort to help a man that has so selflessly dedicated his life to the protection of so many. To me and my coworkers, he is our brother, a detective in the Plainview Police Department and a current SWAT member. To our country he is a Marine that served 10 years and two tours in our great Armed Forces, away from his family. He is also a son, a husband and most importantly a father to two beautiful children. Detective Martinez now not only has a plethora of medical bills, but now has limited income due to his current medical situation. He is in need for basis day-to-day necessities for himself and his family as well as to pay for increasingly expensive medical insurance. As we all know other unexpected expenses always present themselves also. If it is in your heart to support this unforeseen situation, please know that any amount given will be greatly appreciated. If you cannot provide a donation please say a prayer for this family in need. Thank you who read this and this community for the support that has already been given.
