The Dallas Hispanic Firefighters Association has another hero in need during a hard time. We want to pull together as a fire family and a community. Any help, any amount and every prayer is appreciated.

Timothy Wayne Sullivan is a husband, a Father of four, and someone who has learned how quickly life can change.

In 2021, he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest caused by a genetic heart condition that he did not know he had. Since then, he has been living with advanced heart failure and waiting for a heart transplant. For nearly three years, he was able to wait at home, focusing on family, faith, and staying as strong as possible.

Recently, Tim’s condition has worsened to the point where he now needs to remain hospitalized while waiting for a transplant. Because he has a rare blood type, the timeline is uncertain, and the wait could be long.

After waiting patiently, Tim has finally received a heart transplant and is recovering in the hospital. Now, the bills and expenses can build and become a stress factor. We want to help them with this burden and provide support in every way possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read his story and for walking alongside The Sullivan Family during this season of waiting and hope. For those who are members of the the Fire Department and/or Fire Family, we will have tho sign up to take the Family meals, run errands and/or provide services (lawn care, housekeeping, etc.)

Respectfully,

Stefani Salinas
