Help For Lea and Alex
Donation protected
Hello folks,
My name is Greg Houston and I am a Firefighter with Prince George Fire Rescue in British Columbia Canada.
I am also an IAFF Motorcycle Group Committee Member, and the 6th District Event Coordinator.
Last summer, some of you may remember the news of one of our Brothers; Alex Dobri, a retired firefighter from Kitimat, B.C., who was in a serious motorcycle accident with his wife Lea on the way to one of our annual 6th District Rides in Kamloops. Alex sustained a serious head injury and is still suffering from the effects of a brain injury to this date. Lea suffered only minor injuries, and has been by Alex's side throught the entire recovery process.
Both Alex's Victory and Lea's 2014 Street Glide Special were damaged in the accident, with only Lea's being repairable. The repairs were finished on the bike in February, and Lea had asked to store the bike in my garage until they were able to pick it up this spring.
Nobody could have forseen what would happen next.
On April 1st (No, I'm not kidding) a fire occuured in my garage and all of the bikes inside were destroyed. I lost both of mine and my girlfriend Marlene lost both of hers. She was seriously burned in the fire, but managed to escape. She has a long recovery process ahead, but will heal.
Three of our bikes were insured. Both of mine and one of Marlene's. Her '62 Panhead was not. All of our losses will be covered. Unfortunately, Lea's bike was not insured, and she is left with with a huge loss. She was counting on the sale of the bike to help cover bills incurred from having to sell their home in Kitimat and move South to Kamloops while Alex continues his rehabilitation.
The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to Lea for some much needed financial relief.
Please donate what you can to help Lea and Alex and give them some much needed support.
