</div>
<div>For more than 30 years, I’ve had the honor of serving the people of Central New York as both a firefighter and EMT. I’ve spent my life helping others — answering the call in the middle of the night, standing beside families on their hardest days, and doing everything I could to make sure others were safe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been proud to serve with Canastota as a lifetime member, North Chittenango, Durhamville, Verona, and Oneida Castle Fire Departments. I started my EMS career with Vineall &amp; Greater Lenox Ambulance, volunteered at Central Oneida County Ambulance (COC), and continued my work part-time at Madison County EMS. It has truly been my life’s purpose and privilege.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, for the first time, I find myself asking the communities help. I’m facing a serious medical condition that has brought unexpected challenges. The costs of treatment, medications, and ongoing care have become overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve never been one to ask for much — but I’m learning that sometimes the strongest thing you can do is let others lend a hand. Every donation will go directly toward my medical bills, daily living expenses, and treatment costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser has been set up and is being managed by my immediate family and legal representatives, to ensure everything is handled transparently and properly. 100% of what’s raised will go directly toward my care and needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m deeply grateful to everyone who’s stood beside me throughout the years — both in my EMS career and my personal life. Your kindness, generosity, and support mean more to me than I can ever express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping me through this chapter and for proving, once again, what it means to be #NellyStrong.
