Support our Deputy injured in the line of duty

The FOP and Pouriya Chenari, ask for help for my best friend and brother in arms, Louis Custodio.

On what started as an ordinary day on duty, Louis’s life changed forever. While riding his police motorcycle, he was struck head-on by another motorcycle coming from the opposite direction. The impact left him with devastating injuries, and the road ahead will be unimaginably hard — at least 15 surgeries and a recovery expected to take more than 18 months.

Louis isn’t just a deputy. He’s a Field Training Officer w the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, a proud member of the Dive Team, and now part of the Motor Unit. Since joining in 2020, he’s served his community with unmatched dedication, courage, and heart. If you’ve ever met him, you know — he’s the guy who lights up every room, the one who makes everyone laugh, the one who would give the shirt off his back without hesitation.

Now, it’s our turn to be there for him.

Louis has a loving wife, Dana, and a beautiful daughter who mean the world to him. Dana will have to take at least one year off work to care for him, including two months by his side in the hospital. The emotional, physical, and financial burden on this family is overwhelming.

We have created this GoFundMe to help them through this unthinkable time — to make sure Louis, Dana, and their little girl can focus on what matters most: his recovery and their healing as a family.

Every donation, no matter the size, is a lifeline. Every share helps spread their story. From the bottom of my heart, I’m asking you — please help us support a man who has given so much to others, and who now needs us more than ever. Donations received will be used by Louis and his family to cover all the expenses that are not covered by Workers Compensation, hotel stays for his family while he is in the hospital, parking expenses, gas and living expenses.

Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your generosity.
