Support the Journey to Becoming a Firefighter

Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,

Becoming a firefighter has always been a dream of mine, and I am excited to share that I now have the opportunity to pursue this goal professionally. I have been accepted into Santa Ana College’s Basic Fire Academy, which begins in the fall of 2025.

The academy is an intensive 18-week program, held Monday through Friday from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with occasional sessions on Saturdays. Sundays will be dedicated to studying and physical recovery, as the training is both mentally and physically demanding.

In order to fully commit to this rigorous program, I will be stepping away from my current role as an Ambulance Operator. This decision, while difficult, is necessary to give my full focus to the academy.

Any donation, no matter the amount, would be sincerely appreciated and will go directly toward covering the costs of the fire academy. Your support will help me take the next step toward fulfilling my lifelong dream of becoming a firefighter.

Thank you for your encouragement and generosity.,
Garrett Paine
